Riders hold their line until it is safe to move as quickly and safely from the track. The machine must be parked as far from the track as possible, and the rider should move to the safest available position”.
Crashes & Breakdowns
In the event of a fall please signal to the nearest marshal point that you are OK by giving a thumbs up.
This is very important and a failure to do so may result in the session being stopped. You must not remount and continue with the session regardless of your own assessment of the fall. If the motorcycle is able to be ridden you may return to the pits at the conclusion of the session by riding only on the grassed area around the circuit but not on the circuit itself.
If possible, get yourself and your bike safely off the track to a faraway point of the track. Marshals may assist you if safely possible. Your bike will be collected when recovery is available to do so safely. If you can come back to the pits by your own means, make sure you see the following people BEFORE going back out on the track.
