Troops’ Track Day
Hosted by Mission Motorsport, The Forces’ Motorsport Charity in conjunction with Gold Track, Service Leavers, Veterans, Military Spouses or Partners, and Reservists will be given the chance to access high-speed thrills in a variety of supercars around the world-famous Silverstone GP Circuit as part of the Troops’ Track Day.
In order to be eligible for the Troops Track Day, you must participate in a National Transition Event briefing and spend time exploring and engaging with exhibitors in the halls. Why? To help you leave feeling more informed about the fantastic employment opportunities that await you in Civvie Street.
With drivers generously offering their time to provide passenger rides, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Previous drivers have included Chris Harris, Jodi Kidd, Sir Chris Hoy and Ben Collins (BBC’s Top Gear former Stig).
