Passengers
Drivers must not go on track unless they are sure their passenger is happily secured in the car and has read and understands the safety notes. If the passenger shows any sign of distress during the ride slow down.
General Reminders
Do not join the circuit until you are instructed to do so. Any personal items left on the venue are left at the owners risk and the company will not be responsible for any loss or damage.
Please move your car to an isolated location before carrying out any refuelling.
This is a NON COMPETITIVE event. Do not put yourself and others at risk by taking risks.
Access To The Track
Please make sure anyone associated with your party is aware of the above points.
No vehicles should be driven onto the track unless authorised to do so.
Guests are more than welcome to spectate, but will not be permitted in restricted areas for safety reasons.
PEDESTRIANS must exercise great care and remain a safe distance from the track at ALL TIMES.
An adult must always accompany all children at all times.
Under no circumstances should anybody cross the track while track driving is in progress.
What happens if I have an accident?
Although a trackday is generally a very safe time and place to try the limits of driving, in reality accidents can and sadly do happen. It would be dishonest for us to say otherwise. We endeavor to do absolutely everything possible to ensure the safety of drivers, passengers and spectators alike. Part of this is staffing our events to meet ATDO rules and only using trained and experienced people. Should the unfortunate happen, rest assured that the attending marshals and medical cover will be fully able to cope and that full and proper procedures would be followed.
DO NOT Try to help unless directed to do so, you are more likely to get in the way.
If I damage my car in an accident, who will pay?
Although trackday accidents are rare, if you decide to take your car on to a track, you must be aware that you are accepting the risk. By booking to take part you have already agreed to this. You will also be required to sign a further declaration at each event. This is usual on any trackday. The owners of venue, E&D Security Services or any other person or company cannot be held responsible, even if an accident is not your fault. It is becoming increasingly unlikely that your road going policy is going to cover you for a trackday so make sure you check with your insurance company first. Make sure you mention that these events are non-competitive and no racing or timing is allowed. We can arrange cover you, for an additional premium. We always recommend you take out a separate per event policy to be sure. We also sell personal accident insurance, which we also recommend you take out.
