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.

the relevant regulations in order to take part in a trackday.

Equipment Requirements
All drivers and passengers must wear a suitable, correctly fitting crash helmet and have their legs covered at all times whilst on circuit. In the case of open top vehicles, drivers must wear full face helmets and also have arms covered at all times.
Vehicle Requirements
The vehicle you intend to use must conform to MOT minimum standards for road use (in the case of road cars), or MSA current safety and silencing regulations. It 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.
Noise Restrictions
The vehicle you intend to use must conform to our noise
regulations. Full details of these can be found here: Car 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 car 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 car 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.
When using an MSV vehicle on circuit, you will be required to pay for the first £500 plus VAT in respect of any damage to the vehicle.
