You may find the following information on Noise Limits, Equipment and our Terms and Conditions useful before reading the remainder of the FAQs section.

1. What is a trackday?

A trackday is a non-competitive event allowing riders of road and track bikes to come to a race circuit and explore their bike's performance in a safe, controlled and professional environment.

2. Which vehicles are allowed on track?

If your bike complies with normal road safety regulations then it should be eligible to take part in a trackday. However, if you have a specific track bike then we ask that it is in a road-worthy condition to take part in the event. All vehicles must also comply with our noise limits at each circuit - for more information on this please CLICK HERE.

3. Do I need to book in advance?

To guarantee your place on an event you do need to book in advance. If you have already made a booking for an event and want to add additional extras then please log into your account and follow the on-screen instructions.

4. Can I bring an additional riders and spectators?

You can bring additional riders and spectators to all our trackdays. Ideally they should be pre-booked so we know the number of people who will be attending an event. However, if you have booked a trackday and wish to bring an additional rier along that has not been booked then they can be paid for on the day. Spectators are also welcome at all of our events, except events held at Bedford Autodrome where there is a small charge.

5. Do I need Trackday Insurance?

MSV does not require you to have insurance cover in place on its trackdays. However, whilst track day accidents are rare, by using your bike on track you do so at your own risk. Although MSV has public liability insurance cover, it is entirely your choice as to whether you procure insurance to cover damage to your vehicle.

It is unlikely that your normal bike insurance policy will cover you for a trackday, but you should check with your insurer. If you explain that the trackday is non-competitive, they may extend your cover for an additional charge. Alternatively there are specialist insurance companies who provide trackday insurance.

6. What licence do I need?

All riders must be over the age of 18 and hold either a full (not provisional), unrestricted (not 33bhp restricted) valid driving licence issued by the DVLA. This must be either the new photo card licence (the counterpart is not required and cannot be accepted as a proof of your licence), the old style paper licence or the equivalent foreign licensing authority in the rider's country of residence. In any case, the appropriate category must be clearly indicated. Riders who have an ACU Road Race licence can also attend in the appropriate group.

If you cannot present your licence on the day of the event then we can call the DVLA to confirm that you are in possession of a licence. However, this facility is not available on Bank Holidays or on Sundays. Unfortunately we are unable to carry out this procedure for foreign equivalent or ACU licences.

7. What happens if the weather is poor?

It is very rare that we will have to cancel an event due to adverse weather conditions. Our events do take place if it is raining and it's a great opportunity to advance your wet weather riding skills.

8. What if I arrive late?

Should you arrive late, please report to an MSV member of staff, where arrangements will be made for you to be individually briefed. Please note that you will miss out on some track time if you do arrive late.

9. Will there be instruction available on the day?

Instruction is available at all of our events from our approved race instructors. If you wish to book an instructor exclusively for a day then please contact us on 0870 850 5013.

10. How much track time do I get?

This is dependant on the event. Please see the booking page of the event for more information.

11. Do I need to bring any special equipment?

All riders must wear the following equipment in order to take part in a trackday.

Crash helmet - all crash helmets worn by riders must comply with current ACU/FIM standards. Helmets must be worn and securely fastened at all times.

Leathers - all leathers must be either a one piece or two-piece suit with a zip all the way around the middle (minimum hip to hip) with no skin visible.

Boots and gloves - leather boots and gloves must also be worn.

We recommend that all riders also wear additional back protection. Metal knee and/or toe sliders are not allowed.

12. What is the schedule for the day?

Each event has a different timetable, the details of which can be found on the particular event's booking page.

13. Will garages be available on the day?

Garages are available free of charge at most events, depending on the circuit. They can also be reserved in advance for a small fee. Please see the booking page of your trackday for further details.

14. Will there be catering facilities on site?

There are catering facilities available at all of our events where breakfast, lunch and teas and coffees etc. are available.

15. Are there fuel pumps on site?

At some venues there are fuel pumps on site for trackday use. However, at other circuits there are petrol stations within a close proximity of the circuit so please ask any member of staff for directions.

16. Can I camp at the circuit the night before?

Yes. Camping is available at most circuits the night before at a cost of £5 but please see the general information page for the circuit you are visiting for further information.
