We are here to have fun and provide you a fun, rewarding and safe activity. We don't believe in proscriptive rules, and want to work WITH you and help you enjoy yourself. In return we would ask you to respect our equipment, us and our simple rules - they are for safety reasons and to enable both you and us to have a safe and enjoyable time at the race track. We're reasonable people, if there's anything you're worried about let's get it sorted out first of all!

 If you are outside these measurements please get in touch and we may need to conduct a seat fitting or make arrangements for other karts. All drivers under 18 must have a responsible adult with them on the day who can sign a damage indemnity (see below).

 Driving time

While we endeavour to meet the minimum driving time shown on our web site, Attaq Motorsport can make no guarantees as to exactly how much time you have behind the wheel which may be affected by weather, breakdowns, accident damage or situations outside our control. We'll do our best for you though!

Mechanical failure

Mechanical failures are unfortunately a feature of running highly tuned racing machinery, and whilst the karts are prepared to a high standard we cannot prevent every single occurence. If a mechanical failure is due to careless driving (including but not limited to these examples: hitting kerbs, consistently running off track, accident damage) we may have to suspend your driving session. If a mechanical failure cannot be fixed at the circuit we reserve the right not to offer you a replacement date.

Accident damage

You and your responsible adult if applicable will be asked to sign an indemnity and will be required to contribute to any accident damage caused while you are at the wheel. Any time taken repairing accident damage will result in you losing time on track. If we are unable to repair accident damage at the circuit within a reasonable time we reserve the right not to offer you a replacement date.

Accident liability
Any accident damage will be on a “bend it, mend it” basis whether or not the driver is “at fault”.  We reserve the right to charge you for spares required in the event of an accident – e.g. (but not limited to) axle, track rod, steering column, wheel, side pod etc. It is unlikely the kart would be a total write off, but you must be aware that this is unlike an indoor centre in that there is liability for accident damage.

Engine damage
The kart will be geared to protect the engine from over-rev, but continued use of kerbs risks dislodging the chain which can cause engine damage and the driver could be liable. Damage to tghe radiator in accidents or running off track has the same effect and the driver will be held liable.
Personal Responsibility

Motor racing can be dangerous and although the organisers take all reasonable steps to minimise damage and injury, accidents can happen. It is your responsibility or the responsibility of the adult with a driver under 18 to ensure that you drive within your safe limits and the safe limits of the kart and weather conditions. If you are unhappy about the conditions, your abilities or the safety of the kart you must stop driving and discuss the situation with the instructor or Attaq Motorsport representative. These activities take place on Motorsports UK-regulated racing tracks and using karts to Motorsports UK standards which may be different to the standards of indoor karting centres you are used to. There will be local flag and safety regulations in place, it is the responsibility of drivers and their parent/guardians to familiarise themselves with any special rules in advance or at the time of signing on. You will be issued basic safety instructions at the time of booking.

Driving safety

Attaq Motorsport reserves the right to prevent a driver from taking part should their driving be deemed by the instructors to be endangering the safety of themselves or other people or risk causing damage to the kart.

Cancellation

Once payment has been made your booking is confirmed. We can accept cancellation by you up to 24 hours before the event, at which stage a re-schedule can be offered. If we are unable to fulfil the booking (e.g. due to breakdown en route) we will offer a refund or to re-schedule. If there should there be a problem with the kart or circuit that for whatever reason prevents a reasonable driving experience, we will normally re-schedule the event but no refund will be offered. Please note there is no minimum guaranteed driving time, each “reasonable driving experience” is judged on its own merits. If you cancel or fail to complete the driving experience on the day no refund or re-schedule will be offered.

Insurance

Attaq Motorsport karting events are covered by our Team Insurance Scheme, details available on request. This does not provide personal accident insurance which will be your responsibility.
