Briefing Track Safety A full safety briefing will take place with a representative from Javelin Trackdays and the Circuit representative for the day. Please ensure you attend this briefing. Should you arrive too late, please report to a member of Javelin Trackdays to be individually briefed. On track we use certain flags to signal to all drivers. When you are on your sighting laps on track please familiarise yourself with the position of the marshal posts. The following are the types of flags you will see: Yellow Danger ahead, possibility of an incident or hazard, reduce your speed by 50% (check mirrors first) and no overtaking. Full course Yellow flags may be used at the discretion of the CTS. Red Yellow & Red Striped Black Chequered Incident has occurred and the session has been stopped. Please instantly reduce speed by 50% (check mirrors first), pull over to the right to allow recovery vehicles to pass and return to the pit lane. NO OVERTAKING There is a spillage on track or change in the track surface or condition, i.e. oil, mud, debris, etc. Reduce speed and take caution. There is a possible problem with your vehicle, i.e. damaged bodywork, losing fluid, etc. It could also mean that we need to discuss an aspect of your driving. Please return to the pits immediately and report to a marshal. This signifies the end of the session, please reduce your speed and return to the pits at the end of your lap. Blue The vehicle behind is trying to overtake - please drive on the right hand side of the circuit. Pit Lane Notes Please note the pit lane is strictly one way as is the track. All traffic must travel in a clockwise direction. The pit lane speed limit is 30mph max. The pit lane must be kept clear between the yellow line and the pit wall to allow emergency vehicle access. Only people taking part in the current session are allowed in the pit lane. Please do not sit on the pit wall. Please do not re-fuel or smoke in the pit lane. Children under 16 are not allowed in the pit lane or the garages Venue Notes Speed limit at the Venue is 10mph. Anyone reported driving recklessly or dangerously will be escorted from the venue. Track Notes When entering the circuit please keep to the right hand side and do not move over until the circuit behind you is clear. Use the first few laps to warm up your tyres and familiarise yourself with the marshal posts, etc. Consider other drivers - Leave plenty of space when you overtake other cars. OVERTAKING is on the LEFT ONLY. Use your mirrors regularly and if you see faster traffic behind you, move over to the right and let the other vehicle(s) pass on the left. TYRE NOISE AND DRIVING STANDARDS. Any driver generating excessive, unnecessary or constant tyre
squeal or is deemed to be driving recklessly or in a manner considered to endanger themselves or other track users will be black flagged, removed from the track and given a warning that such driving is inappropriate. If the driver continues to give cause for concern a second black flag will be given to once again remove that driver from the circuit and he/she will be removed from the track and denied further access to the track for the rest of the day. Deliberate and excessive power slides will be dealt with in exactly the same way. In case of an incident, leave your vehicle and move to a safe position behind the barriers. If you see an incident do not stop the circuit staff will deal with it. Anyone who ignores red flags or the direction of marshals will be asked to leave the venue the marshals are there for YOUR SAFETY. No hand held video cameras are allowed in vehicles.
