Riders with a full (not 33bhp restricted) UK riding licence (or overseas equivalent) will need to complete a Compulsory Training Course (CTC) and On Circuit Riding Assessment to obtain an ACU licence and signature.
CTC Classroom Course
The CTC Classroom Course is designed specifically to ensure that you understand the basic safety and organisation requirements to participate in any form of Road Racing or on circuit activity like bike trackdays or test days.
As part of the classroom course, there will be a presentation lasting approximately an hour followed by a multiple-choice test.
On Circuit Riding Assessment
Our On Circuit Riding Assessment will enable you to gain a signature on your race licence, entitling you to take part in bike testing events.
You must be able to demonstrate that you are competant rider on circuit and that you can lap consistantly in a safe and controlled manner amongst other 'traffic', ultimately assuring your instructor that you are safe and able to enter your first race. To do this, you must be proficient in:
- Finding and riding on the racing line
- Using correct body positioning on the bike including positions for braking, accelerating, cornering, feet position and good vision.
- Good track etiquette and safe overtaking including safe entry / exit from the pit lane
Don't worry - they will not be looking for you to set a new lap record and although it is a test, we think you'll enjoy yourself as well! If you think that you need some training on track prior to sitting your test, visit the Rider Training section of the website.
Once completed you will be able to apply for your ACU race licence with signature, entitling you to take part in both bike trackdays and test days.
Please note: only an initial signature can be obtained by using this product. Subsequent signatures must be obtained from racing events. You must provide your own bike for the On Circuit Riding Assessment. Bikes must be suitable for the intended use - see our Bike Trackday Regulations for further details.
