Other than the points indicated above (helmet, etc.), no specific safety clothing is required. Some customers choose to invest in race suits, flameproof clothing and race boots. Arms and legs must be covered at all times. It is advisable to bring a warm weatherproof jackets as race circuits can be cold and windy.

I'm concerned I'll be 'too slow', and faster drivers will get frustrated.
There will usually be at least one full session of "track virgins" in attendance at all of our events. This also helps to ensure that newcomers feel included, comfortable and well treated on the track.
Any driver not being "considerate" to others will be removed from the track by the attending marshals. They are the ones in the wrong. Speed isn't necessarily an issue. Of course an overly slow driver can cause a nuisance, which is why we select sessions partly on the grounds of peoples prior experience, type of vehicle and where they will feel most comfortable. If sessions are clearly not working out: we change them so they do! We strive to provide a comfortable situation for newcomers and regulars alike.

I'm concerned I'll be 'too fast', and slower drivers will be annoying.
We make every effort to make all drivers feel relaxed and make sure they are alert and enjoy the day. We run NON-competitive track days. Anyone caught getting aggressive / competitive / dangerous behind the wheel will be removed from the circuit. Having said that we can usually segregate at least 1 session per event to more experienced drivers who may be considerably quicker than the newcomers - check our bookings page to see what sessions the event is split into. Finally we'd like you to remember - YOU were a ''track virgin'' once.

Do I need to show my driving license?
You need to show a full UK driving license. If you are not in possession of your license unfortunately you will not be allowed to drive on the track.

Do I need an MSA race license?
No, and an MSA race license cannot be produced as a substitute for a UK driving license at our track days.
