Herein are rules that you must follow and remember when you are driving on the track.
RULE 1 - Passing Zone:
¡P Passing is allowed on the Front Straight only. No exceptions.
¡P All passing must be completed before turn 1.
¡P All passing must be made on the right side of the vehicle you intend to overtake.
¡P All passing is executed only after given proper signal (see RULE 2 below) from the vehicle in front.
¡P All passing should be quick and prompt.
. Faster car cannot initiate a pass to the slower traffic. Only slower car can initiate a pass for the faster car.
RULE 2 - Slower Car:
¡P Stay on the line that you are driving.
¡P RIGHT TURN SIGNAL will be used to initiate a pass on the Front Straight.
¡P Slow down and ease off the throttle to help the faster car behind to pass.
¡P Relax and drive at you own pace. Respect faster cars.
RULE 3 - Faster Car:
¡P Let the slow car complete the turn (prior to Passing Zone) safely.
¡P NO SIGNAL, NO PASSING!
¡P Stay directly behind the slower car. Do no drive in its blind spot.
¡P Patiently wait for your signal to execute the pass.
¡P Pass with care.
¡P Respect slower cars/drivers. Be patient and keep a safe distance.
RULE 4 - Pit-in:
¡P Drive on the left side of the track after exiting the corner prior to the front straight.
¡P RAISE YOUR LEFT HAND (to the outside of your vehicle) to indicate your intention to pit.
. No emergency signal will be used on the track.
¡P Drive slowly in the pit area.
Advice:
¡P If you break any of the rules above, you will be black-flagged to come in for a talk.
¡P If you break the rule again, we shall send you home directly.(Of course, we don`t want this to happen.)
¡P If you put any wheels out of the circuit intentionally, we will not ask you to come back.
. There will be three warm-up laps for people to get use of the track. A common problem when you`re starting out is trying to take the tight sections too fast, and not staying in control. So please slow down on the first two warm up section, if further help or driving instruction is needed, most experienced drivers are more than glad to help you out.
. There will not be any police, insurance or ambulances on duty. You are expected to use common sense when lapping.
. We will be limiting the amount of cars going out at any given time to give lots of room to all the drivers, and stay as safe as possible.
. Please be considerate to other fellow drivers,and take caution. Please don`t tailgate other driver if they are slower than you, and take a reansonable distance behind the others.
Thank You.
