SAFETY AT KILTORCAN RACEWAY

Karting is one of the safest forms of motorsport, but unless drivers obey the safety regulations, accidents can occur. Safety at Kiltorcan is taken very seriously.

Before being allowed on the circuit, all drivers receive a full briefing on karting protocol, flag signals and driving techniques. All drivers MUST wear a properly fitting crash helmet and can avail of a range of other protective clothing. Adequate foot wear MUST be worn and securely fastened, this does not include heels, sandals or flip-flops. When in the kart, pit lane staff will explain the controls and answer any remaining questions.

We have trained Marshals on duty during every event and first aid assistance is always on hand. During the session, our experienced track marshals will keep a close eye on the proceedings and will ensure that anyone in difficulty is given the assistance they require and that no aggressive or heavy handed tactics occur.

Our karts are fitted with a remote control system which allows track staff to slow down or stop karts in the event of an emergency or dangerous driving. Karting is a very exciting sport and it should also be fun. If approached responsibly, it can be immensely enjoyable.

We have no wish to spoil anybody's enjoyment but, as a matter of policy, we will not allow anyone else to spoil it either for other drivers. Therefore anybody driving in an unacceptable behaviour may be removed from the track for the duration of their session.
