Thruxton and Mallory Park have E5 and E10 petrol available to purchase on site. Croft and Blyton Park do not have this facility, however, in the joining instructions for both car and motorcycle days, state the nearest fuel stations. If you are using an EV please ensure you arrive fully charged for your session. There are chargers based at Thruxton but not at other circuits. Circuits do not allow EV charging from a 13A supply.

IMPORTANT NOTICE. Skills Days are run on circuit ‘quiet days’ and are not subject to race or track day noise limits which are higher than usual. Please only attend with fully road legal cars and motorcycles with a correctly silenced exhaust system fitted. For motorcycles with aftermarket systems removable baffles or Db killers MUST be inserted/fitted. Open exhausts are not permitted. Noise testing/monitoring is in place. Each circuit has different regulations for noise. Please refer to the joining instructions to see which restrictions are in place at your chosen circuit.

Most UK insurance policies specifically exclude cover for use on a racing circuit. IAM RoadSmart advise you to discuss this with your insurance company if you want insurance cover extended to circuit use. Please read the joining instructions for more information and guidance.

We won’t push you to drive or ride at high speeds. This is a training session designed for learning and you have full control of the car or motorcycle. The maximum speed you may reach is 90mph as a circuit limit. However, there is no compulsion to reach this speed.

For motorcycle days, full and approved UK motorcycle protective clothing is mandatory. Leathers or textile clothing is permitted. Road legal helmets/visors/goggles must be worn. For the car days, please wear clothes you feel comfortable in and appropriate footwear for driving. You don’t need a helmet if you are driving a car.

We are always considering new opportunities to evolve and improve our Skills Day delivery year on year. Whilst circuit availability is reviewed annually, we do have some limitations with it, however we are always looking for ways in which we can improve our delivery to you, whilst offering value for money. Circuit hire costs and our volunteer instructor availability sadly rule out certain circuits.

No, the online booking process captures important information and declarations about the driver or rider at check-out. This information cannot be amended or transferred to another person. You must not send your ticket to a friend or relative to use, only the named ticket holder will be admitted. If you can not attend, please email support@iam.org.uk. A full refund will be issued if the request is made 28 calendar days before the event.
