Slip&Grip Automotive - Spring Touge In The Valleys 2020 - April 25th & 26th 2020 The ever popular Touge in The Valleys returns for Spring 2020. Set in the heart of Wales nestling on the side of a private mountain in a stunning valley, 2.2 miles of tight tarmac stage wind up around and down the peak providing one of the most unique motorsport venues in the UK. Perfect for testing your driving skills whether you drive a rally car, sprint car, hill climb car, drift car or trackday car. With plenty of media covering the event its also the perfect opportunity to give any sponsors you may have some good coverage or promote what you do in motorsport. With many people are interested in times so we are implementing optional timing in 2020!! We will have a leaderboard for each day, clockwise and anti-clockwise on the stage. 1st in each Class will receive a £150 voucher towards any future Slip&Grip event. With Camping on site Friday and Saturday night you can drive one or two days over the weekend. We will have a burger van on site with local fresh meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If your used to normal trackdays on wide open circuits this event provides a unique challenge that no other venue offers, with cars being released at minute intervals to tackle the tarmac over the mountain. A truly unique event providing an awesome atmosphere alongside an awesome driving road. When you make your booking you will be sent a confirmation with a full set of rules and regulations as well as a course map and a breakdown of event schedule and information. Please note for 2020 the stage will be run clockwise on Saturday and Anti-Clockwise on Sunday. Costs: Single Day £90 Per Driver Two Days £170 Per Driver (Up to 2 driver permitted per car) Event Location: Mid Wales Activity Centre - SY25 6BJ Check out a video of the stage here: Classes: Class A - Over 1901cc NA / Forced Induction Class B - Up to 1900cc NA / Forced Induction Class C - Under 1600cc N/A (if you have any questions regarding regs or would like to see the full copy of regs prior to booking please contact us direct) Be warned, despite being a beautiful location and venue, this stage is not for the faint hearted. Armco and tyre walls do line a lot of the stage for your protection but the track is not very wide so things can happen very quickly. We recommend that if you are planning on attending this event you have previous trackday / on track experience. If you do not respect the stage and understand the limits of you and your car its not the event for you. If however you are looking for a real challenge away from the wide open UK circuits, looking to build confidence driving this epic stage throughout a full weekend with load of seat time with a typical Slip&Grip Automotive atmosphere then get your name down.qA

Spring Touge in The Valleys – April 25th/26th New Entry (Timed Class A) We are not entirely sure if Terry and his Mk2 Escort will be chasing times on the tarmac stage or simply covering it in tyre smoke but he’s entered into Class A anyway. Either way its always great to see a Mk2 used as they were intended back in the old days. One of the most popular rally cars of all time.

Spring Touge in The Valleys Two Day Single Venue Tarmac Event – April 25th/26th New Entry (Timed Class A) If you have been to the odd retro show in the past or even follow one of the greatest online media outlets for modified cars on the planet, Speedhunters, you have probably seen Bryn’s Volvo 240 before, or his published work. Having owned this retro brick for over 20 years the only standard parts left on the car are the roof panel, pillars and rear diff casing. With nearly 300bhp and close to 400lbft of torque from its 2.3 turbo lump it will be interesting to see how this rather large family wagon gets around the tight twisty tarmac stage in Mid Wales.
