Trackday Regulations - Bike

Warning

Acknowledgement of Risk

Motorsport is dangerous and can involve injury or death. Despite MotorSport Vision Limited (MSV) taking all reasonable precautions, accidents can happen. By attending a track day, you acknowledge this and confirm that you are aware of the nature of the activity and attend at the venue at your own risk.

MSV may refuse access to, and eject from, its venues any persons who are acting against the interests of safety and/or whose behaviour is likely to cause damage, nuisance or injury. MSV may also have to conduct security searches at the venues to ensure the safety of customers and other persons at the relevant event.

Neither MSV nor any other members of the MSV group of companies or their representatives are responsible for any loss, damage or injury to persons or property caused or sustained by you as result of attendance at any track day, save for liability for death or personal injury arising from MSV's negligence or for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Rider Requirements

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 (or the equivalent foreign licensing authority in the rider's country of residence) with the appropriate category clearly indicated.

Riders who have an ACU Road Race licence can also attend in the appropriate group providing they are over the age of 18.

Equipment Requirements

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

All leathers must be either a one piece or two-piece suit with a zip all the way around the middle (a minimum of 3/4 of the way around) with no skin or undergarments visible when your arms are fully raised. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, textile equipment is not permitted on trackday events.

Vehicle Requirements

The vehicle you intend to use must be in good condition both mechanically and bodily and suitable for its intended use on the track. It is your duty to ensure that the vehicle remains in this condition for the duration of the activity, in the interests of your safety and the safety of others at the circuit. All vehicles must also comply with our noise regulations.

Noise Restrictions

The vehicle you intend to use must conform to our noise regulations. Full details of these can be found here:Bike Trackday Noise Regulations

If MSV is of the opinion that any vehicle does not comply with the applicable noise restrictions, the relevant vehicle will be prevented from participating in the remainder of the event unless and until the noise emissions are addressed to bring them within the applicable limit.

Accident Damage and Insurance

MSV do not require you to have insurance cover in place on its track days. However, whilst track day accidents are rare, by using your bike on track you do so at your own risk. 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 track day, but you should check with your insurer. If you explain that the track day is non-competitive, they may extend your cover for an additional charge. Alternatively there are specialist insurance companies who provide track day insurance. Please call our sales helpline on 0843 453 3000 for contact details of these companies.
