This trackday will give you the opportunity to ride in the wheel tracks of racing legends and in a much safer, more liberated environment than on the road. Although we make every endeavour to ensure that risks are controlled, high speed riding is a dangerous activity and in attending the event you are choosing to accept those risks. When taking part in a track day, you do so entirely at your own risk.

Registration/Indemnity form

For Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park, Donington Park, Oulton Park or Snetterton you will need to fill out this registration indemnity form before taking part in any track activity. If you are a junior rider and have been manually approved by MSVT to take part in the event, you will need this U18 registration indemnity form. For Bedford Autodrome it is this registration indemnity form. These forms will be available at registration but to speed things up it would be great if you would please download, print and complete one in advance. Please click on the link.

Our office is open from Monday to Friday 8:30 - 18:00 should you need us in advance of your track day: 0343 453 3000 (normal landline rate)

Enjoy your event!

Signing on
The registration/signing on point will be indicated by a tall orange flag labelled "Sign On". Your final instructions email will pin point its location. To sign on you will need to fill out a MotorSport Vision indemnity form which is available to download from the registration/indemnity section above. If you are unable to print one in advance, copies will be available at signing on. For track days you must produce your valid UK fully unrestricted motorcycle licence (photo card or old paper licence) or its overseas equivalent at the time of registration; please note that photocopies cannot be accepted. Participants under the age of 18 will require their parent or guardian to be present, and to countersign their indemnity form. On most events a race licence is also acceptable. During registration you will be issued with a wristband and vehicle sticker (to go on your screen or somewhere visible on the front  if no screen). The colour of this sticker will indicate the group you are in. The group order will be confirmed in the briefing. During the day your group will be called by tannoy. Often the noise of engines and people can muffle the tannoy volume so keep half an eye on what’s on track. Please read our 'Rider requirements' section below if you are attending an ACU licence holder test day. Please see the requirements on the ACU assessment page if you are attending an ACU assessment event as the rider requirements differ to a regular track day or ACU test day.

Noise Testing
All vehicles must be noise tested before taking part in any on track activity. The noise test area will be indicated by a tall orange flag labelled 'Noise Testing'. The noise limit for your event is indicated on the individual event page. Please see the Noise Limits section for further details.

Safety Briefing
After registration your day will start with the all-important safety briefing. This briefing is compulsory for all riders. The briefing place will be indicated by a tall orange flag labelled 'Briefing'. Should you arrive late, please report to a member of our team, where arrangements will be made for you to be individually briefed. After the briefing you will be issued with another wristband to confirm it has taken place. You will not be allowed access to the circuit without the relevant wristbands and vehicle sticker.

Sighting Laps
After the safety briefing the first group will be needed almost straight away to start sighting laps, so you ideally need to be ‘good to go’ prior to the briefing. All drivers must complete sighting laps prior to track activity and are an opportunity for you to familiarise yourself with the the circuit at a reduced pace.

Tyre Support
Tyre support will usually be provided during 'General' trackdays and some 'Novice Only' events. The tyre service in attendance will be featured on the event page along with contact details. Please note that MSV Trackdays are not able to guarantee tyre support at every event.

Instruction
Instruction can be booked in advance or on the day and your session time will be allocated on arrival. Our professional instructors can provide you with valuable advice about all aspects of circuit riding and how to get the best out of your bike. A session of 20 min instruction is available for £25 or for a full day of intensive instruction our Track Academy can be purchased in advance of your event.

Photography
Most events will have professional sports photographers taking high quality pictures of everyone out on track. Details will be given out in the morning drivers briefing. They can be purchased online after the event.

Track Notes

• On entering the circuit please keep to the right hand side and adhere to the blend line. Do not move over until the circuit behind you is clear. When pulling off circuit into the pit lane, use your indicator or hand and stay right early to allow following bikes s a clear route passed.
• Use the first few laps to warm up your tyres and familiarise yourself with the conditions.
• Consider other riders - Leave plenty of space when you overtake other bikes. No close or aggressive passing. Being overtaken is ok and a very regular part of track days that you need to get used to - don’t resist. Easy smooth overtaking will avoid ‘bunching’ of riders.
• RIDING STANDARDS. Any rider deemed as riding recklessly or in a manner considered to endanger themselves or other track users will be black flagged, removed from the track and given a warning that such riding is inappropriate. If the rider continues to give cause for concern a second black flag will be given and they will be denied further access to the track for the rest of the event. The event team reserve the right to exclude the rider immediately if the situation demands it.
• If your bike breaks down please push it against the barrier and get into a safe position. Keep your helmet on.
• Anyone who ignores red flags or the direction of marshals will be instructed to leave the venue.
• The medical/safety car has a paramedic on board and can join the circuit via emergency access points. Please be aware that these vehicles have the right of way.
• Talk to people around you that you don’t know – it’s a good thing, the atmosphere is great – tap into it.

On a track day we use certain flags and lights to signal to all riders. When you are on your sighting laps please familiarise yourself with the position of the live marshal posts and light positions. The following are the types of flags you will see:

Green - indicates live marshal points during the sighting laps.
Yellow - Minor incident or hazard at that part of the circuit, reduce your speed by 30% and No overtaking.
Red - A major incident has occurred and the session is immediately stopped. Please reduce speed by 50% pull over to the right to allow recovery vehicles to pass and return to the pit lane. No overtaking. 
Yellow & Red Striped - There is a change in the track surface condition or something on circuit to avoid, i.e. fluid or debris, etc. Reduce speed, adjust line if required and exercise caution. 
Black - There is either a mechanical problem with your vehicle, you have failed the drive-by noise test or we need to discuss an aspect of your riding. Please return to the pits immediately and report to a pit lane marshal. 
Chequered - The end of the session. Please reduce your speed and return to the pits. No fast overtaking is allowed during this lap.

Pit Lane Notes

• If you have use of a garage, please ensure you adhere to all the terms and conditions displayed therein.
• Fire lanes must be kept clear at all times.
• The pit lane is strictly one way, as is the track. The pit lane speed limit is 30mph.
• Only people taking part in the current session are allowed in the pit lane.

Licence requirements:

DVLA Licence holders

MSV Trackdays offer ACU licence tests where you can obtain your ACU Road Race Licence. CLICK HERE for further details.

Rider Requirements For Dedicated ACU Licence Holder Test Days Only

All riders must hold a valid competition licence issued by the ACU, AMCA or FIM. We can accept riders below 16 years of age as part of a dedicated junior session or on a session where they will be participating with bikes and riders of a similar pace. Unless the rider is taking part in a dedicated 'junior testing session'; all riders aged 16 and under must book by phone and have specific permission from MotorSport Vision in writing prior to booking. Any rider under the age of 18 years of age will need a dedicated U18 indemnity form counter signed by there parent or guardian on the day of the event.

Equipment requirements
All riders must be wearing either one-piece leathers or two piece leathers that zip together ALL the way round (less than a 5" gap remaining). Textile suits are not permitted and neither are sparky sliders. ACU gold stamped full face motorcycle helmet, proper leather motorcycle boots above the ankle and leather motorcycle gloves beyond the wrist must be worn. We strongly recommend using a back protector.

Spectators
Unless accompanied by an adult at all times, no persons under the age of 16 years old are allowed in any operational areas or controlled track areas. Please note: no persons under the age of 16 years old are permitted on site at Bedford Autodrome.

You should always keep your bike regularly serviced and in a road/trackworthy condition, but for the avoidance of doubt please note the following requirements and recommendations:

Tyres
They must be in good condition and we strongly recommend checking and adjusting to suitable pressures. Do remember to wait for your tyres to warm up during the first few laps.
Brakes 
Your brakes must be in good condition when taking to the track. If it has a rear brake light then it must be working. Brake pads should have plenty of life left in them. During a track day our brakes will wear quicker than on the road and it is good practice to check them throughout the event.
Suspension
Suspension and steering parts will define how well your bike handles on the track; always ensure that these components are in good condition.
Engine 
Your engine will be under greater pressures than the road. Check all fluid levels are correct, plus chain and sprocket wear.
Bodywork 
The bodywork and all fasteners should be checked - you do not want any parts falling off on track. Touring bikes must remove all luggage boxes.
Taping up of lights 
We recommend front and rear lights and indicators are taped up before going on circuit - in an accident the lenses in your lights can shatter, creating a hazard on track.
Other 
You must ensure that you have enough fuel at the start of each session. You will use more than on the road. A simple tool kit is also handy to have with you.

If you are unable to attend the booked trackday, please call our sales team as soon as possible during office hours (Mon-Fri 8:30 - 18:00).

More information

These days, all racing circuits have noise restrictions. It is extremely important that we operate in compliance with our limits to ensure the future of racing for everyone that abides by the rules.
Anyone wishing to have their bike tested before a test day is more than welcome to come to one of our circuits during our events and have a noise test free of charge.

The initial test is a static test which is carried out using a handheld meter. YOU MUST HAVE A WORKING REV COUNTER. As per ACU guidelines, each bike is measured 0.5 meters away from the exhaust at a 45 degree angle when the engine is being held at the following RPM:

In cases where the motorcycle has two separated exhausts the measurement will be taken as above from the median point between the two.
For bike testing, the noise regulations for each of the circuits are as follows:

For Supermono class, Vintage and Classic prior to 1973, the test RPM will continue to depend upon the mean piston speed corresponding to the stroke of the engine, according to the table produced in the ACU Sound Control Regulations.

Additional Information
Factors such as air temperature and humidity can affect the level of noise that your bike is producing. If you are ever within 1dB(A) of  a particular limit then we suggest that you strongly consider having your exhaust looked at before making another booking.

Ducati Panigale fitted with the 'plain standard exhaust only' will be permitted leniency on the static test. Drive-by limits are still strictly enforced.

In addition to the initial static test our circuits have a continuous automated 'drive-by' meter operating to ensure vehicles continue to adhere to the noise restriction in place.

If the results of the drive-by monitoring show that your vehicle is generating drive-by sound levels appreciably higher than vehicles with comparable static test results, then you will be called into the pit-lane to address the noise level being generated.

The circuits drive by limits are:
Brands Hatch 92db. Evenings with a 98db static have a 88db drive by
Oulton Park 89db
Snetterton 92db
Bedford Autodrome 87.5db
Donington Park 98db (for quiet days only. Some events are unsilenced)

Exhausts do get louder with age as the packing deteriorates and it may be that you need to purchase a baffle (db killer) or have the exhaust repacked before attending another event.
