afety in motor-
sport! Just how
safe can it be?
We’ve all seen the signs
around circuits stating
“Motorsport can be
dangerous”, which is
always a reminder that
safety is paramount when
on track. Keen to find out
just how safe the sport is
and whether improve-
ments can still be made,
for the first ever Motor-
sport Days Summer
magazine we brought
together some of the most
influential people in
European track days to
explore the issue of safety.
The results were, to say
the least, very interesting.
One of the main points
that arose was that the
UK circuits are absolutely
top class when it comes
to safety, and in this issue
we highlight Silverstone in
particular, which is setting
the standard interna-
tionally. We also have an
in-depth interview with
Mark Blundell, who knows
better than most about the
motorsport industry from
grassroots right up to the
top of F1. He now runs a
boutique agency helping
drivers reach the top of
their game and we’re de-
lighted that in this issue he
shares some of his invalu-
able expertise and advice
with MSD’s readers.
This new Summer edi-
tion of Motorsport Days
also includes a mid-season
report and every article
you will find in this mag-
azine is in keeping with
our ethos of supporting
and promoting Clubman
motorsport.
As always, we’re keen
to hear from track and test
day users and Clubman
racers, so if you would like
to make a suggestion, or if
you’re keen to get involved
in any of Motorsport Days’
activities in 2016 and
beyond, please feel free to
get in touch.
Also, keep an eye out
for the third Motorsport
Days Annual, which will
be available in January
2017 and will feature the
latest Clubman news,
interviews, features and
results, plus the ultimate
track car experience.
For now, enjoy this Sum-
mer edition and we look
forward to seeing you on
track soon.
