What happens at a motorcycle Trackday?

The day starts with check-in, if you haven't already done so the evening before. Here your arrival will be registered, and you will receive a participant sticker and a MyLaps transponder. Before the day's riding begins, your motorcycle must also undergo technical inspection, and you must attend the mandatory rider's briefing. After this, it usually doesn't take long before the riding on the track begins. Participants are divided into different groups based on their experience and speed. There is usually about an hour between riding sessions, which most often last 15-20 minutes. Optionally, races may be held in the afternoon. When the day is over, the grills are lit, and it's time for tire kicking and tall tales. For most, participation in Trackdays is a form of active holiday, where you meet and enjoy yourselves with like-minded people and recharge for everyday life. It usually takes a few days to wipe that wide smile off your face again after having been on a Trackday.

Which groups are run?

MC Trackdays take place on the big circuits, while Supermoto & Mini Trackdays run on go-kart tracks with matching vehicle types.

Four groups — green, blue, red and black — grouped by lap time, each with its own overtaking rules.

Groups for Supermoto and Mini trackdays?

Green for children up to 10, yellow/blue/red for mini-bikes by speed, and orange/black for supermoto riders.

How do I know I'm signed up for the right group?

Pick the group that best matches your level — you can always change group during the event.

Can you stay overnight at the track?

Yes, typically in a tent or camper, possibly for a fee.

Can you buy fuel at the track?

Only at the larger, southern circuits — not everywhere.

How is the transponder mounted?

The transponder must sit vertically on the bike, secured with a holder and straps.

Why attend the riders' briefing?

It covers important information about the day's schedule and any special conditions.

Who can take part in races, and what does it cost?

Races cost nothing extra — in principle any qualified participant can take part.

What is a liability waiver?

You confirm you're taking part at your own risk and won't bring a claim against the organiser.

What is technical inspection?

All motorcycles are checked for safety reasons — but keeping your bike roadworthy remains your own responsibility.
