It’s that time again at the Circuit! We look forward to welcoming you to our drop-in Autoslalom at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit. Drop-in sign up is now available on our website calendar for January 30, February 20, March 13 and April 3, 2022. We are located at 4063 Cowichan Valley Hwy. For those of you who have not come to one of our Autoslalom at the Circuit events, they are being run on the Circuit, not in our skid pad area. The course of the day will be very challenging with elements that may include slalom cones on long straights, bus stops, Gcircles and elevation change all finishing off with a precision time. Come out and test your driving skills as this is the perfect training program for open lapping days. To comply with the Provincial health orders, everyone must wear a mask when in the Circuit building.
