Additional Details
Drivers must hold a full driving licence which will need to be presented on the day - photocopies will not be accepted. Participants must be a confident track driver and have a good knowledge of the rules of driving on a track. You must be 17 or over to take the test. All drivers must have a good understanding of the English language for instruction purposes. Please note: anyone deemed to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be permitted to participate.
Driving may be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow, ice, heavy rain or high winds) which would make driving at speed dangerous. Please call 01243 755055 if in any doubt.
Expect to be at the venue for six hours. Arrive 15 minutes prior to the start time.
Share the classroom sessions with up to four other participants. All driving time is held on a one-to-one basis with a qualified instructor. There will be a maximum of 10 cars on the circuit at any one time.
Family, friends and children are welcome to spectate and can bring a camera to record the experience. Viewing is available for spectators. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Dogs are permitted but must be kept on a leash at all times. The Old Control Tower at the Motor Circuit sells coffees, soft drinks and hot and cold snacks. Viewing is available for spectators from this venue. You can also purchase additional lunches for one guest, this can be done when purchasing your track day or by calling 01243 755055.
The vehicles are covered by comprehensive accident insurance but this will not apply if you drive recklessly, dangerously or if you cause damage to yourself or anyone else. The person driving the car will be required to sign a disclaimer accepting liability in the event of damage being caused to the car through their negligence.
The instructors are absolutely fantastic and they managed to get me from a nervous, swerving wreck to a (fairly!) confident racing machine in just one afternoon
