The car should be in a presentable condition, I can't see them asking for your certification but if you turn up with bits falling off I can't see you getting out.

Track time rules, hints & tips

In brief - What you need to know before you release the handbrake...
» All drivers must hold a current full UK or other EU state driving licence.
» You will need to show your driving licence at a briefing session - bring it with you (both parts in the case of photocard licences).
» Your car must be road worthy.
» You will need a helmet - if possible bring your own.
» You will need to cover your arms and legs.
» You will need to tape up your headlights.
» You will need to keep your side windows up.
» If you spin or drive dangerously, you will be removed from the circuit and refused any further track time, no refunds will be given.
» No unauthorised cameras or video recorders will be permitted.


Personal safety
» All drivers must attend a briefing prior to their track session(s).
No briefing - no wristband track pass - no track session!
» Drivers with multiple sessions booked only need to attend one briefing session.
» All drivers must sign the customary indemnity.
» Helmets are mandatory for all drivers. You will need to organise your own, although Silverstone has a limited number available for hire (credit card deposit required).
Helmet straps are to be securely done up.
» All drivers must hold a full current UK or other EU state driving licence and must show that licence at the briefing (both parts in the case of photocard licences).
» All drivers must have arms and legs covered, ie no shorts or short sleeved t-shirts.



Vehicle details
» Tyre pressure may be increased if you wish (there is no facility to do this at Silverstone).
» Do not overfill petrol tanks.
» Seatbelts must be worn.
» Your car needs to be suitable for driving on the road (ie ROAD LEGAL).
» No slick tyres allowed.
» Oil, water and fuel levels should be checked prior to each session.
» Headlights must be covered with tape (gaffer, duck tape etc).
» The maximum sound level for your vehicle is 98dB, measured on drive by meters around the circuit or on a static test at 4500 rpm half a metre from your exhaust outlet.
» A normal private car motor insurance policy usually excludes circuit driving. For your own interest you may wish to take out special track time insurance with a specialist insurer such
as Competition Car Insurance.
