Regulations

We want to appeal to riders with sporting ambitions who ride or own a classic sports or racing motorcycle and who want to ride it in a thoroughbred racing atmosphere on a closed-off race track with the best possible safety precautions. Sporty and fair driving with classic technology and looks and driver training, i.e. plenty of time for training, are our priority.
