For the avoidance of doubt, BARC will return uncollected licences on the day following the event but will accept no responsibility whatsoever if the upgrade card does not reach the intended recipient.

ENTRY ONTO THE CIRCUIT FOR COMPETING CARS: Please assemble in the designated assembly area. For practice you will be signalled to go directly out onto the circuit. For the race you will be signalled to go out onto the circuit, possibly behind an official Parade Car, to complete approximately one quarter of a lap of the circuit prior to forming on the grid. The white lines on the circuit edge delineate the track width, which is normally usable. Any vehicle adjudged by the Clerk of the Course to have gained an unfair advantage by crossing white lines, particularly by Post 3 (circuit crossing), will be subject to penalties as laid down in the MSA Blue Book. REVISED PITLANE ENTRY: Would all competitors please note that the pit lane entry road now comes off the track before Honda curve. The pit road is approximately twice the length of the old one but the pit lane discipline and speed limits still apply. PITLANE SECURITY: Teams/competitors should be aware that it is their responsibility to ensure that persons not in possession of pit lane passes, and persons under the age of 16, are not allowed access to the pit lane. EXIT FROM THE CIRCUIT FOR COMPETING CARS: When the practice or race session has expired as designated by the use of the chequered flag, cars will complete almost a full lap of the circuit, slowing down, to enter the pit lane, from where all cars will be directed to the Parc Fermé area near the scrutineering bay. BTRA TRUCKS PADDOCK TWO: BTRA Trucks will be placed in Paddock 2 (Outside). Both entry to, and exit from the circuit will be controlled by Officials at the beginning and end of each session. OVERNIGHT PARKING: Competitors are reminded that overnight parking is available in the main paddock of the circuit, but it is stressed that, whilst every effort will be made to keep the area secure, no liability of any kind will be accepted by the Organisers, Operators or Landowners. All competitors need to be aware that any noise nuisance caused within the confines of the circuit property between 23:00hrs and 07:00hrs will be reported and competitors concerned may be subject to penalty. All competitors must vacate the paddock by 19.00hrs on Sunday evening. USE OF VIDEO EQUIPMENT: It is permissible for competitors to use vehicle mounted video recording equipment for personal use alone but they must have any such equipment securely mounted, and in place, prior to vehicle scrutineering taking place.
