Track Rules & Safety
At Drift-Inc we want you to enjoy yourself, but your safety is extremely important to us while you are out on track, so we have some rules and regulations to make sure no-one gets hurt while having fun:
All drivers to attend briefing and sign on
5 MPH speed limit in pits and all access roads to and from track.
No pets (YES THIS MEANS YOUR DOG)
No static burnouts on track.
No smoking on track or after passing the briefing building. This includes vapes.
Obey the flags at all times;
Red flag – come to a safe controlled stop.
Yellow flag – incident ahead on track, slow down until clear of yellow flag incident.
Black/white chequered flag – End of session. Also used to remove driver / car from track for mechanical or other reason.
All drivers must wear helmets at all times while on track.
All drivers must wear overalls at all times while on track.
All tyres to be taken home UNLESS DISPOSAL IS PAID FOR.
PLEASE DO NOT TURN UP WITH A PILE OF ALREADY DEAD TYRES AS IT CAUSES A MAJOR BACKLOG BEFORE WE START———
Under no circumstances should drivers or passengers exit their vehicle on track. If you have a mechanical failure, you should attempt to get the car to a safe position. If your vehicle is immobilised stay in the cockpit with harness and helmet on until a marshal tells you otherwise. In the event of a fire, exit the vehicle as safely as possible.
To sign on as a driver you must have a full UK licence and not be suspended. You must provide your photocard license at sign on. Failure to produce your photocard license will mean you will not be allowed on track and you will not be refunded.
No passengers except in the Drift Taxis or a driver under tuition by a member of staff.
All drivers must be signed on. No wristband – No track time
The Car:
