FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
General Questions
1. You take a while to reply, why? AMC is currently run as a part time business so it may take a short period to reply to you. We aim to respond to all questions and queries within 72 hours.
​
2. Your track days only cater for 'road going' cars, why? The Insurance that we hold, which enables us to operate, only covers road going cars to run on track. We operate with the permission and a Licence from the Land Owner and Manager. That Licence is based upon agreed activity that they will endorse, and allow. Unfortunately, we do not own the track and must operate within the rules issued by the Owner.
​
3. I own a few cars, can I bring them all? Yes, but each car must have it's own ticket. You cannot bring several cars to the day and swap between them as the day progresses. This rule also applies if your car breaks down, you can not swap to your friend's car and carry on the day (unless you have specific permission from us). Each ticket is sold for one car's access.
​
4. I'd like to Marshall, can I help out? Yes, if you'd like to help run an event then please get in touch with us via the messenger or email, our head Marshall will be in touch to explain the options and offers available to helpers.
Specific Track day/Car Questions
1. What do I need to bring? You need to bring your full UK drivers license, a UK DVLA approved helmet, clothes that cover all your arms and legs and your enthusiasm.
2. What car can I bring? These track days are aimed at enthusiasts, they are not test days. Your car must be a ‘road’ car. It must have running lights and work in accordance with standard road going expectations. A saloon race or rally car that meets this criteria is acceptable. Your car must also meet the sound restrictions for the day and be able to maintain this level throughout the day. You can not bring your single seat race/hill climb/auto cross car or your drift car.
​
3. What are the sound restrictions? Your car must not be louder than 100Db measured from 0.5m away at 4500 rpm or 3/4 max rpm (depending on your car). Cars with electronic restrictors that prevent a static test, will be subject to a drive-by test. The organisers reserve the right to monitor this and prevent vehicles running
4. I don’t have any track experience, can I still come? Yes. These are track days are for all, from experienced racers to compete novices.
5. What driving standards are in place? You will be expected to drive with respect to other drivers, in a safe manner commiserate to your car and skill and also in line with the Driver Standard monitors located around the track. The track days are not timed in anyway and lap timing on the day is strictly forbidden (you can analyse your data at a later point). There is no overtaking on the corners, all overtaking is to be competed in the straights and to the side dictated by the track (you will be told this in the drivers brief).
6. Is my car covered by AMC insurance if I have an accident or break down? No. You are expected to arrange your own track day insurance. Apex Motorsport Coaching accepts no liability for you or your vehicle whilst attending our track days, this includes any incidents with other users. Apex Motorsport Coaching only provides the Third Party Liability Insurance to cover the event, in the event of an incident in which damage to the location is attributed to you, you will be liable to pay the insurance excess.
7. Are there many forms to fill out? Unfortunately, yes, there are some simple forms to fill out. You must do this to attend each event. The forms will include a short Drivers Brief video that you must watch, a questionnaire and also a waiver that must be completed prior to arriving and driving.
​
8. Are there Spectators? No unfortunately not, there is no spectators on AMC events. Your support crew will be able to watch you from the start line but that is it. There are no other viewing areas.
​
9. Can I take passengers out on track? Yes, as long as you have purchased a Passenger ticket and your passenger has completed the waiver.
​
10. Can I bring all my friends and family? No, not really. You can bring people to help run your car and support you through the day, but we would prefer you limit this number. Ideally this would be the people you can fit in your car/tow vehicle.
