We are holding a Test and Tune prior to the start of the season for all prepped race cars in the region!
Supplementary Regulations are here! Please read them!
Instructions for registration and payment are in the Supplementary Regulations.

When: Sunday May 4th 2025

Cost: $250, or $200 if you have helped at one of the AMP Work Parties on April 26/27 and May 3rd. Payment instructions are in the Supplementary Regulations.

What you need: More information in the Supplementary Regulations, but here are the coles notes;

• All participants must have either a valid 2025 ARMS Race License or a valid 2025 ARMS Time Attack License. If you are taking the Race School in May and wish to participate in the test and tune, get in touch with the Race Director Nate.
• All cars with a 2024 ARMS Annual Technical Inspection are permitted for this event. For any car not holding a Logbook or an Annual Tech Inspection from the 2024 season, please contact James, the Chief Scrutineer to arrange this prior to the Test and Tune. There will be no Annual Tech Inspections performed at this event and all cars will require a 2025 Annual Tech prior to Round 1!

Schedule: A schedule is included in the Supp Regs – we may split into 2 run groups if we have a larger number of entrants. If not, we will run an open session. Even with the run groups, there will still be multiple hours of track time available.

I’ll be checking with AMP about whether camping is permitted on Saturday night – There is a work party on May 3rd as well and work may be taking place in the paddock areas during this event. I will update anyone who is registered on this as we get closer to the event.

This school is more in depth than a high performance driving school and is aimed at people who want to race wheel-to-wheel. You will learn race craft from some of the best amateur road racers in Canada. Car control, how to overtake, how to be overtaken, how to have the most fun you can have in a car. Atlantic Motorsports Park is one of the most challenging road race courses in Canada with the greatest elevation as well. It will challenge both driver and car.
