An extra driver is permitted from another household providing you wipe down between driver changes. A passenger is permitted but only from the same household. A mechanic is also welcome. Drivers and passengers must be pre booked via our event page on the website and all attendees must be written on your sign on form or they will not be on the list to come in. There are also separate Passenger forms to fill out.
Please message us your mechanics names so that they can also be noted on the entry list.
Please bring your own helmets as there will not be any available for hire. Remember that we are still under COVID guidelines so social distancing where possible is essential.
