Important Information
- Please ensure that vehicle movement is kept to a minimum around the venue. All vehicles and trucks within the garage area must be parked inside the yellow lines at all times. Only 1 private vehicle per team will be allowed due to lack of space. There will be no parking on the fence line.
- The venue imposes a speed limit of 10MPH.
- Registration will be in the Paddock office, outer Lower Paddock, FROM 08.00 AM, at which time all drivers will be required to show their race licences for inspection. This is available all day.
- Instructors are permitted in car as a passenger providing that they hold an ARDS (grade A or S) instructors licence.
- Entrance to the circuit can be gained from the main A20 entrance only.
- MotorSport Vision Ltd reserves the right to cancel a booking at any time and for any reason, in which case the option either to re-book to a further date or make a full refund will be offered.
- The Grand Prix Terrace will be open for food and drink.
- Please note that all vehicles will be subject to static noise check before they are allowed on circuit. This will be opposite wristband collection, and a pass sticker will be issued once successfully completed. Please arrive in plenty of time to avoid losing any track time.
- All cars must be silenced to 105 dB(A) for Saloon cars and Sports cars, and 108 dB(A) for Single Seaters & Sports Racing cars. These levels will be measured using the standard 0.5 metre, three-quarters maximum RPM static test defined by Motorsport UK.
- These levels will be measured using the standard 0.5 metre, three-quarters maximum RPM static test defined by the MSA.
- Although Brands Hatch are not operating to a specific drive-by noise limit, we nevertheless monitor drive-by levels, and if the results of the monitoring show that a particular vehicle is generating drive-by levels appreciably higher than vehicles with comparable static test results, then we reserve the right to notify the participant, following which, the relevant participant must not take any further part in the event until he/she has reduced the noise levels generated by the vehicle to bring them within acceptable limits as established by further static or drive-by testing.
- Vehicles that generate excessive ‘backfire’ noise during gear shifts will be monitored closely and may be prevented from further participation if the noise is considered to be excessive. If the backfire noise can be reduced by remapping, track activity may be resumed following further evaluation of the problem.
- Should your car suffer a mechanical engine failure, please do not attempt to drive back to the pits. You must immediately pull off the circuit into a safe position such that we can arrange for you to be recovered. We have recently suffered several losses in track time due to oil being deposited around the circuit and it is imperative we avoid a repeat of these situations.
- MSV accept no responsibility for damage to your car should it need to be recovered during the test day
- An FIA approved FHR device, fitted in accordance with K.10.4, is mandatory for drivers from 1 January 2016 on all test days. Exemptions to this are Post Defined vehicles as described in Section B of the MSA year book
- No more than one 25 litre metal fuel container can be stored in each garage (whether full or empty). Legally this equates to the maximum 50 litres of fuel inside any two joined garages. Empty containers must not be stored inside the garages either.
