IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
In recent weeks various sporting events have been targeted by protest groups. There are potentially lethal consequences from entering a live motor racing circuit, so we urge everyone on site to be vigilant this weekend.
In addition to event stewards, security and race marshals, and all their communications and surveillance tools, we are implementing a “TrackSafe” alert system at Bennetts BSB events.
Race fans can now raise concerns by texting “BSB“ to 60777, followed by a grid reference of the location and a brief description of any potential or evolving track incursion. Click here to view a grid reference map. Thank you for your support.
Security
The safety and security of all our visitors is paramount, so please be aware you may be subject to bag searches and security checks at our venue. We would also politely ask, as an additional security measure, that you put luggage tags on all of your bags detailing your name and mobile number, so that it can be easily identified. Please do not leave your bag or personal belongings unattended at any time.
