No crashing allowed, but if you do, you're responsible for any damages & costs incurred to you or your bike. All participants are required to sign a waiver (When you sign on). We will have onsite medics should you need them.

You can ride any bike to compete at the event but STRICTLY NO Electric / Motor Bikes allowed to be ridden around the site at any time to spectate!

Riders

Only one bike is permitted - The bike you have checked and qualify on is the bike you MUST race with.

Please refer to the tyre permissions in your regulations which can be found here

If your bike breaks down, PLEASE DO NOT venture off the track & make your own way back to the pits (even if you THINK you know the way back!).  The venue is very vast and riders have been known to get lost.

Like-minded riders are known to stop and offer assistance, if not, stop a rider and ask to pass the message onto the next control point or available marshal.

Wait where you are and a travelling marshal will be along shortly and can radio through to arrange collection of you and your bike. There is no cost involved, however feel free to buy the marshal a drink after the event.

If you cannot do another lap, simply park your bike in the pits and wait till the race has finished. You can then ride your bike to the finish line, and claim your finishing medal.

If you are still on track and can't finish the lap, simply ride to the next checkpoint (Only ride in the flow of the traffic NOT against it) and make the marshals aware you can no longer complete the race and your finish position will be collated, dependant on what lap and where you are on the track.

You can enter as young as 12+ and a fine age of 99+
