• Motorcycle sport is dangerous
• You are exposed to certain risks
• You may be injured physically, mentally, or worse
• Your equipment may be damaged, lost or destroyed
• Motorcycling Australia does not provide insurance cover for you or your equipment
• You must sign on at the Race Secretary’s office and by signing-on you acknowledge and accept the risks I have just mentioned
• If at any time you are not prepared to accept these risks you are welcome to return your media pass and vest to the Race Secretary and leave the venue
• You must wear your pass and media vest at all times during the event and must show your pass when requested to do so by an official
• You must have at least one line of protection between yourself and the race circuit, i.e. stay behind a concrete wall or tyre barrier when in the vicinity of the circuit
• Be aware that debris may be ejected unpredictably by motorcycles and can travel past the barriers
• You MUST NOT cross the track at any time when motorcycles are on the circuit
• Should you wish to cross the circuit when there is no on-track activity please approach the nearest official and request permission
• You are allowed to position yourself at turn 16 and turn 18 but ARDC will not allow anyone to go to turn 17 AT ANY TIME
• If you are in pit lane be aware that motorcycles will be using the fast lane for the duration of the event at a speed of up to 40kph. When leaving pit wall to go to the garages you must take care not to impede the motorcycles’ progress along pit lane
• If you wish to access the infield bounded by turn 5, turn 6 and turn 15B (i.e. the Corporate Hill area) this will only be permitted when motorcycles are not on the circuit. Access will be from the turn 4 gate and you are to cross directly to turn 15B. Prior to entering the circuit you are to request permission from the flag marshal at turn 4. Please note: once you are in the infield area you will have to remain there until track activity ceases. This means you will be there for the duration of any warm-up session or endurance race and will not be allowed to cross back to turn 4 until all bikes are clear of the circuit after the chequered flag
• If you are deemed to place yourself in a dangerous position, or act outside the scope of your role here today, you will have your accreditation cancelled and will be asked to leave the venue immediately
• Should you have any questions or are at any time unsure of your responsibilities you should see the Race Secretary who will then contact me for clarification if necessary
