Safety and Rules

The sport of Karting has rules for the safety and fairness of the competitors, organisers and marshals. All motorsport venues have rules, and the following is a guide to the rules we have at our track.

Driving

There are rules for driving karts to keep everyone safe and the racing fair but competitive.

1. Keep away from the engine and exhaust at all times.
2. Use one pedal at a time. Keep your foot off the brake pedal when accelerating and vice-versa.
3. Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times to keep in control of the kart at all times.
4. Remain in your kart at all times unless instructed by a marshal to do otherwise.
5. You must obey flags and marshals' instructions at all times.
6. Karting is a non-contact sport. Repeated or deliberate bumping/pushing is considered dangerous driving.
7. Blocking or weaving on the track is also considered dangerous.
8. Walking pace is the only acceptable speed when driving in the Pit Lane.
