ON TRACK ETIQUETTE
Please drive slowly in the pit lane and keep to the left until outside your designated garage. Speeds must not exceed 30mph.
When joining the circuit enter in a similar to a ―motorway entry – i.e. keep to the right of circuit until clear of the pit lane exit and the solid white line ensuring full awareness for vehicles continuing on the racing line.
Once on the circuit build pace gently and progressively.
Use your mirrors but only on the straights – overtake and be overtaken on the left only.
Brake and change gear in a straight line – do not brake in a corner as this causes instability in the vehicle.
Slow the vehicle down sufficiently to a speed that enables you to balance the throttle between the corner entry and the clipping point and then accelerate progressively from the clipping point through to the exit of the corner.
Do not feed the steering wheel through your hands; hold the wheel at quarter to three in the straight-ahead position and move with the wheel. This enables a direct relationship and understanding with regards to the amount of steering lock applied at any given point in a corner. Do not saw at the wheel.
Overtaking:
Use your mirrors regularly but only on the straights. Do not spend the whole lap looking in your mirrors.
Overtake only on the left hand side.
Overtake only on the straights.
Do not overtake in the corners or final part of the braking areas.
If you are being caught by faster traffic move over to the right and let the vehicle/s pass on the left.
Slower drivers MUST never move off line in a corner. Remember no overtaking is to happen in the corners hence moving off line will compromise both yourself and the following vehicles. Wait until the exit and then move over.
Slower drivers please do not hinder faster vehicles and put your foot down on the straights and this can lead to frustration and the potential for accidents is increased.
Spins – If drivers spin or even worse crash it may be necessary to stop circuit activity. This causes unnecessary loss of track time for all drivers; it is therefore suggested that every precaution be taken to ensure that all drivers drive to the circuit conditions and their own ability at all times and not beyond. Please remember it is not the vehicle or conditions that cause a spin or accident it is purely down to the person driving the vehicle! The only exception to this is mechanical failure!
Off track excursions – if you get stuck in the gravel valuable circuit time will be lost from the session. If this happens please get out of your vehicle when safe and stand behind the Armco. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR TOWING EYE IS FITTED.
Always pay attention to flag signals. Drivers ignoring flag signals and or lights will not be permitted to continue driving on the circuit.
Strictly no timing; this is NOT a test day. Anybody found to be timing, whether passenger, driver or spectator may be excluded from the rest of the day and could have their timing device confiscated.
Remove ALL loose items from your vehicle.
It is advisable to complete a slowing down lap once passed the chequered flag; no overtaking once passed the chequered flag.
Windows must be up ¾ unless window nets are fitted.
Only on-board cameras fixed by a mechanical method will be acceptable. Suction mounted cameras are not permitted. Exterior cameras with the exception of roll hoop mounted will not be permitted.
Remember – BRSCC/SCL reserves the right to remove drivers from the circuit. This applies to anyone who is not complying with instructions, rules and regulations or a driver who may be a danger to themselves or more importantly other circuit users.
Any driver that fails to attend the drivers briefing will not be permitted to take part in the track day.
BRSCC/SCL reserves the right to exclude any driver considered as possibly unfit by reasons of health, consumption of alcohol and or prohibited substances including amphetamines of amphetamine type substances. Random breath tests will be carried out periodically to ensure that all drives abide by this rule, or following an accident where it is suspected to be alcohol related.
All driver changes must be made in the pit lane or paddock area.
If there is any reason to stop on the circuit, park the vehicle as far from the circuit as possible. Get out of the vehicle and move behind the safety barrier immediately. Do not cross the Track. Wait for the safety vehicle. The Venue is covered by CCTV, so the safety officials will be aware of a stationary vehicle.
In the event of a collision, the driver MUST report to the SCL Medical Team and report to the BRSCC/SCL Event Manager. Any driver involved in a collision will have their wristband removed by the marshal at the point where they crashed. If the driver wishes to continue and is deemed medically fit to do so by the SCL Medical Team, then the driver must sign on again and will be issued with another wristband. Further incidents will result in exclusion from the track day.
In the event of a spin, the driver must return to the pits and report to the BRSCC/SCL Event Manager. It may be deemed necessary to undertake a personal coaching session with an instructor. Further incidents may result in exclusion from the track day.
In the event of an incident on the circuit, involving 2 or more vehicles, where driving standards are believe to be the cause, those drivers will have their wristbands confiscated until the Safety Team, and if required the chief instructor have reviewed the incident using marshals accounts and CCTV footage.
If it is deemed that the incident was caused by poor driving standards, BRSCC/SCL, reserves the right to stop that driver from further participation. No monies will be refunded in this case. Those parties not at fault will be issued with a new wristband and allowed to continue.
It is a condition of the driver’s participation in the track day that in the event of accident, loss or damage occurring during such track day they will not pursue any claim for damages against any other driver (save in respect of injury or death).
