GROUP

What qualifications do the instructors leading the classes during the Sports Driving Academy have?

Our instructors have all the necessary qualifications required for the classes they conduct. At least one of the instructors leading the classes on a given day and for a specific group holds a motor sports instructor and/or a driving technique instructor certification.

How to prepare yourself and your motorcycle before training or a track day?

On the track, you will drive 6 to 8 times throughout the day (unless an accident on the track prevents entry). Sessions will last from 15 to 20 minutes. Before driving, we will discuss safety issues on the track and briefly explain the meanings of the basic flags. You will also receive a lecture on the basics of sports driving, and an instructor will guide you along the proper racing line during the first session. You can use the catering service throughout the day without any restrictions.

What will a track day look like and how many times will I go on the track?

For other formal questions, you will find answers in the regulations and in the email you will receive two days before the event. If you have additional questions, please call or write to us, and we will respond as quickly as possible.

To register for the event, click on the Sign Up link and go to our online store. Register and add the date you are interested in to your cart. If you are interested in the Sports Driving Academy, select the appropriate option with the "Academy" label, add it to your cart, and confirm your order. The option without the "Academy" label is reserved for those who want to sign up for a Track Day, meaning driving without full instructional supervision. After submitting your application, you will immediately receive a message from kontakt@trackacademy.pl at the specified email address with payment details. Payment should be made promptly after receiving the email. However, if you need more time for the payment, let us know. Remember that only payment guarantees your reservation. Familiarize yourself with the basics of safety on the track.

I want to sign up for the first time, what do I need to do?

First of all, you should prepare your motorcycle for track riding so that it meets the venue's requirements regarding exhaust noise. However, if you have a relatively new motorcycle and your exhaust has European homologation, you probably don't have to worry. Upon arrival at the venue, please report to us to confirm your presence and group assignment.

I will be on the track for the first time, what should I know?

- Poznań Track - 98 dB measured dynamically on the start-finish straight. The equivalent loudness during riding meets the static loudness standards at approximately: 7000 RPM for 600 cc and 300 cc, 5500 RPM for 1000 cc.

- WallraV Race Center - 100 dB measured in 3/4 of the RPM range/max.

- Łódź Track - 98 dB measured in 3/4 of the RPM range/max.

- Radom Kartodrome - 96 dB measured at half of the RPM range/max.

- Krzywa Track - no restrictions.

- Słomczyn Autodrome - no restrictions.

- SteelRing Trinec - 96 dB or an effective DB killer installed.

WARNING: The rules for permissible exhaust noise emissions are defined by the internal regulations of the tracks. The organizer has no influence over them. Any noise emission testing is conducted by the facility's staff. Exact regulations regarding noise emission can be found in the track regulations. A motorcycle that does not meet the noise standards with a factory exhaust is the Ducati Panigale V4; it must have an additional DB killer or a different exhaust installed.

The maximum allowable exhaust noise on individual tracks:

If you ride a pit bike, you must wear fuel, oil, and coolant containers. Before entering the track, make sure to remove jewelry (neck chains, earrings, watches, and rings). We ask that you cover any glass elements, such as the headlight and indicators, with tape (we recommend "duct tape" as it does not leave residue). Glass or plastic can shatter on the track during a fall and pose a threat to other participants. You should also remove any unnecessary road gadgets from the motorcycle, such as saddlebags and extra luggage mounts.

Yes, you can sign up for any training regardless of your current skills. The instructor will match the group and the level of exercises to your abilities. However, we require basic motorcycle riding skills. We do not teach beginners.

Can I participate in any training regardless of my skills?

You will enter the track 6 to 8 times throughout the day (unless an accident on the track prevents entry). Training sessions will last from 15 to 20 minutes. During this time, instructors will assign you exercises to perform. In the time between sessions, you will discuss your driving with a focus on the elements assigned by the instructor. We have also planned group lectures and a walkthrough of the track with a detailed discussion of the individual sections.

What will a day with the Sports Driving Academy look like and how many times will I go on the track?

A motorcycle does not have to be insured, however, we recommend purchasing personal liability insurance (OC) and accident insurance (NNW), which covers events on the track. The organizer has liability insurance, but we will not pay compensation if you are at fault in the incident or if the incident occurs due to random causes beyond the organizer's control. When reporting a claim to the insurance company under the NNW policy, you must inform the insurer that the damage occurred during motorcycle training. At our events, you have the option to purchase NNW insurance. If you participate in a race and do not have a valid sports license, then additional insurance in the amount of 25 PLN applies.

Should the motorcycle and the rider be insured?

If you are a beginner and will be riding in beginner groups and not participating in a race, we require a helmet with road approval, motorcycle boots, and pants with protectors. The suit does not have to be leather; however, you must have a back protector (integrated with the jacket or a so-called "turtle") and the pants must be zipped to the jacket. If you expect sports training for "aspiring" or "professional" riders, you should be dressed according to the "Rules of Motorcycle Racing on Tracks." The document is available here: [Motorcycle Racing | Polish Motor Union (pzm.pl)](https://pzm.pl/regulaminy/wyscigi-motocyklowe).

How should I be dressed?

We answer your questions

There is no need to remind how important knowledge of safety rules on the track is. Every motorcyclist riding on the track must know the following rules.

Flags are the only effective way of communication between the track staff and the driver racing on the track. Knowing them is essential.

Basic Flags:

- Checkered flag:

a) Free lap: you have a pit stop lap left, go to the depot after passing the checkered flag waved at START-FINISH, meaning complete the pit stop lap and enter at the designated spot.

b) Race: finish. After passing the checkered flag, do not brake abruptly. Complete the lap and head to the depot.

- Green: you may enter the track/the track is clear of obstacles/cancellation of the yellow flag.

- Yellow: danger in the next section of the track. Drive carefully. Overtaking is prohibited.

- Two yellow flags: same as above, but additionally, the track is partially blocked.

- Red: training or race interrupted! Complete the lap while exercising extreme caution and go to the depot. Follow the instructions from the officials.

- Blue: a faster competitor is behind you; you will be overtaken.

- Black: signal for a single driver. You probably did something wrong. Complete the lap and go to the depot. In a race, a black flag means disqualification of the driver.

- Yellow and red striped: attention, possible change in track grip (water, oil, sand, etc.). Exercise extreme caution. Overtaking is allowed.

- White with a diagonal cross (across): first drops of rain in the next section of the track.

Flags

1. Always listen to the flag commands and the pit crew.

2. If you want to end the session before the designated time, raise your hand high before heading to the pit.

3. Always drive in the designated direction.

4. Never stop on the track or on the outside of a corner. If you feel uneasy or witness an accident, report it to the pit crew and do not stop on the track. Stopping on the track poses a risk of death, injury, and exclusion from future events.

5. Do not brake suddenly in the middle of the starting straight. Drive predictably!

6. Be cautious when overtaking; the overtaking driver must be aware of the driver being overtaken.

7. If a significantly faster participant is behind you, facilitate their overtaking. Do not change your driving line.

8. Exercise particular caution during the first session. Most accidents happen during this time.

9. Respect other participants of the rides.

10. Never enter the track or the area next to the track.

11. Adhere to the speed limit in the paddock of 5 km/h.

12. Before riding, remove all jewelry (chains, rings, watches, etc.).

13. A sports camera cannot be mounted on the helmet. If mounted on the motorcycle, it must have an additional safety leash.
