Notes

If you arrive with vehicles or equipment that do not comply with regulations, we may refuse to allow you to drive for safety reasons.
If we determine that there is a danger, we may suspend the driving.
We kindly ask that companions do not ride along (tandem).
When driving on the circuit, it is often the case that general voluntary insurance does not apply. We recommend confirming with your insurance company in advance.
If you do not submit the pledge, we will have to refuse your participation in the driving.
