Motorsports events are designed with safety as a top priority, but participants and spectators should be aware that there are inherent risks involved. Race organizers follow strict safety protocols and take extensive measures to mitigate dangers, but motorsports do carry an element of risk that cannot be completely eliminated.

It’s important for anyone attending a motorsports event, whether as a participant or spectator, to understand and accept the level of risk involved.

The thrill and excitement of motorsports is part of the appeal, but responsible participation requires an acknowledgment of the inherent dangers. With proper safety precautions in place, and a clear understanding of the risks, motorsports events can be enjoyed safely by participants and spectators alike.

Hillclimbs are crazy. They often take place on tight roads that feature tons of technical turns, and all of it has to be tackled at moderate to high speeds.
You don’t need to be the fastest person up the hill, so you don’t have to push both yourself and your machine to the limit. This pushing your machine can result in tremendous glory, but it can also result in some spectacular accidents as well. Keep in mind spectator safety lies on both the driver and the spectators. Please get acquainted with the rules and regulations .
Enjoy both your machine and the track, horn your skill and most of all enjoy.

Watching a live motor sport event is a thrilling experience and one of the best ways for fans to get close to the action, experiencing the sport’s sights, sounds and smells first-hand.

Always keep your own safety in mind
Park in a safe place
Follow marshals’ instructions
Observe and obey all event signs
Stay within the official spectator areas
Do not enter any prohibited areas
Keep off the road or track
Listen to official announcements
Expect the unexpected.

On rallies in particular, remember:
Cars may run wide on corners
Cars may cut corners
Cars may throw up stones
Cars may overshoot junctions
Cars may leave the road.
So, have fun but keep safe!

REGULATIONS

Time Trial Motorsport regulations are designed to ensure safety and fair play across four-wheel tarmac motor sport. These regulations are detailed in the Rule Book, commonly known as the TT Regulations.
All regulations proposed by the Specialist Committees come for debate and ratification. However before they reach Council, regulations are usually subject to a consultation process that gives the motor sport community an opportunity to provide feedback.

Regulation changes can be implemented without consultation in matters of urgent safety or for clarification purposes, or following recommendations from the Executive Committee.
Consultation is taken into account by the Specialist Committees and regulation changes are often revised post-consultation before being presented to Council.
To provide advance warning for competitors and officials, new rules approved by the organisers for future implementation are published here.
