In brief - What you need to know before you release the handbrake...
• All drivers must hold a current full UK or other EU state driving licence.
• You will need to show your driving licence at a briefing session - bring it with you (both parts in the case of photocard licences).
• Your car must be road worthy.
• You will need a helmet - if possible bring your own.
• You will need to cover your arms and legs.
• You will need to tape up your headlights.
• You will need to keep your side windows up.
• If you spin or drive dangerously, you will be removed from the circuit and refused any further track time, no refunds will be given.
• No unauthorised cameras or video recorders will be permitted.
Personal safety
• All drivers must attend a briefing prior to their track session(s).
No briefing = no wristband track pass = no track session!
• Drivers with multiple sessions booked only need to attend one briefing session.
• All drivers must sign the customary indemnity.
• Helmets are mandatory for all drivers. You should bring your own, though Silverstone has a limited number available for hire (credit card deposit required).
Helmet straps are to be securely done up.
• All drivers must hold a full current UK or other EU state driving licence and must show that licence at the briefing (both parts in the case of photocard licences).
• All drivers must have arms and legs covered, ie no shorts or short sleeved t-shirts.
Vehicle details
• Tyre pressure may be increased if you wish (there is no facility to do this at Silverstone).
• Do not overfill petrol tanks.
• Seatbelts must be worn.
• Your car needs to be suitable for driving on the road (ie ROAD LEGAL).
• No slick tyres allowed.
• Oil, water and fuel levels should be checked prior to each session.
• Headlights must be covered with tape (gaffer, duck tape etc).
• The maximum sound level for your vehicle is 105dB, measured on drive-by meters around the circuit or on a static test at 4500 rpm half a metre from your exhaust outlet.
• A normal private car motor insurance policy usually excludes circuit driving. For your own interest you may wish to take out special track time insurance with a specialist insurer such as Competition Car Insurance.
