Time of arrival
- To make the most out of your day aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the time of your booking. Arriving late can result in shorter time on the track.
What to wear
- We will provide everyone with freshly laundered coveralls and balaclavas together with safety helmets. Each driver will need to wear loose comfortable clothing ¡V the coveralls are quite warm so in summer a t-shirt and light trousers is a good idea. In winter a sweatshirt or similar is the best option.
- Footwear is very important ¡V again comfortable shoes ¡V like trainers or sturdy shoes. We do not allow anyone to drive in backless shoes, sandals, flip-flops or high heels. Wellingtons can be worn on the quad bikes but would be restricting in the rally karts so are not allowed.
- You may want to bring a change of clothing ¡V especially if you have booked a meal at our local pub or are going on to another venue. We do have showering facilities so either bring your own towel or hire one from Team-Action at ¢G1 each.
- You will be able to wear spectacles and contact lenses with the helmets.
- If you have any queries about what to wear please call on 01889 504000
