On Road Track – Electric

Drivers Briefing

If you are exhibiting any symptoms of the Covid 19 virus do not attend the meeting or access the site. If you are forced to cancel your booking due to displaying Covid 19 symptoms you will have your race fee refunded.

Prior to the Meeting

If you wish to use a pit table these are allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you wish to pit from a gazebo then you can pit in the pick up/drop off area behind the new pit building or in the car parking area. If you asked to pit from your car please set up in the car parking area. Please bring a pit towel/pit mat to use in your bay. Bays will have a divider to allow both tables to be used.

Additional Equipment

As part of our Covid protection plan racers must bring their own:

  • Hi-viz Jacket for marshalling
  • Gloves for marshalling (work/riggers style, not latex style)
  • Facemasks/Face-covering
  • Hand Sanitiser
  • Pit towel/pit mat to cover the table

Note – The BRCA also recommend bringing a face shield, some disposable latex gloves, surface cleaner and hand wipes.

The clubs risk assessment shows that separation of racers and maintaining 2 metres social distancing is possible in most areas of the site, however if this proves impractical in practice we will expect all racers to have a facemask/face covering they can wear if requested to do so.
