Please note: if you have made a booking for other drivers you will need to send them this information so they can complete their own registration. This cannot be done on their behalf, unless the driver is aged 17 or below, in which case it must be completed by their parent or guardian.
On the day arrangements:
- Venue gates will open at 06:00
- Your attendance will need to be registered in Race Services (underneath the Race Control Tower) at 07:30. Your license will be checked, and you will collect a driver wristband - please remember to bring your license with you
If you have booked for an afternoon-only session, you will not be able to sign on until the morning sessions have finished on track
- The Kentagon and Grand Prix Terrace will be open for a selection of hot and cold food
- Garages should be vacated no later than 30 minutes after the test has finished
Other important information:
- Please ensure vehicle movement is kept to a minimum around the venue
- This venue imposes a strict speed limit of 10 MPH
- Please note that Juniors aged 14 and 15 cannot participate in this test day
- Instructors (Grade A or S ARDS) are permitted in car at no extra charge as a passenger – however a few will apply if they intend to drive
- MSV 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
- Please note that all vehicles will be subject to a static noise check before they are allowed on circuit. This will be on the fence-line opposite garages 33/34 and a pass sticker will be issued once successfully completed. Please arrive promptly 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 and Sports Racing cars. These levels will be measured using the standard 0.5 metre, three-quarters maximum RPM static test, as defined by Motorsport UK
- Although Brands Hatch is not operating to a specific drive-by noise limit, we nevertheless monitor drive-by levels, and if the results show that a particular vehicle is generating drive-by levels considerably 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 accepts 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 Motorsport UK yearbook
- 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
Should you have any queries regarding testing at any MSV circuit, please email us at [email protected].
