EVENT INSTRUCTIONS
Thanks again for your entry for our Track Day. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Snetterton Race Circuit.
The venue will be open from 07:15am.
On Arrival
Please park your vehicles in the paddock and proceed to signing on in the Control Tower Office which is situated in
the corner of the Paddock.
Drivers Signing On
Signing On will commence at 07:30am. Please note ALL drivers will need to produce for inspection their DVLA
Drivers Licence (NB. no licence means no track time and no refund). You will need to produce the photo card part of
your licence (the paper counterpart is no longer required), older paper only licences are accepted as well. In the case
of an international licence it must have a photo and clearly indicate that the holder is qualified to drive that class of
vehicle. If you are unable to produce this for any reason contact the Javelin Office on 01469 560574 ASAP. Please
allow yourself plenty of time to sign on. All Drivers forms and Passenger forms are attached to this email.
Car & Driver Identity
We will issue you with a car identity sticker that should be attached to the front windscreen or nearside front headlight
glass. The Pit Lane Marshal will need to see it and the cars occupants wristbands each time you enter the track.
Garages
Reserved garages will be locked and signed accordingly. Unless you have reserved a garage do not set up in or block
any garages until you have checked with an organiser. On arrival please park behind your garage and find a member
of staff to unlock it for you. Please note :- No more than one 25 litre fuel container can be stored in any one garage
(whether it be full or empty). Legally this equates to the maximum 50 litres of fuel inside any two joined garages.
Empty containers must not be stored inside the garages
Noise
Cars will be required to not exceed a maximum sound emissions test of 105dBA. Measured at 45 degrees, 0.5 metres
distant from each exhaust outlet at three quarters of maximum engine revs. All cars must be noise tested prior to being
allowed on circuit. Noise Testing will be carried out in the area at the rear of the Fuel Pumps from 7.30 onwards.
Snetterton has also introduced a Drive By limit of 92dba at trackside. Whilst this will not cause problems for any
sensibly silenced cars any vehicle exceeding this limit may be black flagged and required to take remedial action prior
to being allowed back on track.

All drivers must attend a Safety Briefing and complete a number of sighting laps. Times are shown on the attached
timetable. Following the Briefing you will be issued with a second wristband, acceptance signifies that you have

A full safety briefing will take place with a representative from the organising party and the Control
Tower Supervisor (CTS) for the day. Please ensure you attend this briefing. Should you arrive too
late, please report to a member of the organisers or the Control Tower Supervisor, who will be based
in the Control Tower, where arrangements will be made for you to be individually briefed.
Track Safety
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:
Waved Yellow
Red
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.
Black
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.
Chequered
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.
Anyone reported driving recklessly or dangerously will be escorted from the venue.
Track Notes
On entering the circuit 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.
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. Anybody wishing to film at the circuit will need prior
permission.
All crash helmets worn by drivers and passengers must comply with current MSA standards (BSI 6658 Type A
minimum). Helmets must be worn and securely fastened at all times whilst on circuit.
Drivers and Passengers in Open topped cars must wear eye protection in the form of goggles or full face style
helmets with visor whilst on circuit.
If you have any problems with any other drivers on the day, please report to the organisers or the
CTS.
The medical car has a paramedic on board and may join the circuit at any point. Please be aware that the medical car
has the right of way on the circuit and will overtake on the left so please move over to the right.
