ENTRY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
All drivers must hold a FULL licence. WOF or Registration is not needed, however preferred. If you are bringing a non-wof or registered car, please ensure it’s on a trailer when arriving at the venue for your own safety and to avoid being pulled over on the roads. Licences must be valid at the time of the event (e.g. not disqualified, expired etc).
Your car must pass the Safety Check check to be allowed on the track. No exceptions or refunds if your car fails to meet the criteria. The Safety teams decision is final. You (the driver) must take your car and drivers Licence to the safety check bay in the allocated time. It is the drivers responsibility to ensure your vehicle is properly prepared for the event (please see Safety Check page for more details).
Although we may have passed your car at the safety check, it is ultimately your responsibility that your car is safe to drive. In-between each session, we recommend you check things over such as tyre condition, no loose body panels, battery clamp is secure, brakes feel firm, fuel cap is on etc. Your ride - your responsibility.
Vehicles are preferred to have a minimum third party insurance with motorsport insurance for this event. You will be personally responsible for all costs and damage associated with injuries or damages done by you or your passengers in the event of an accident. Premier Events, Hampton Downs and the promoters accept no responsibility for any damage, theft, or loose over the weekend.
Premier Events has zero tolerance for drivers drinking while the track is open. Random breath tests may take place over the weekend, and any driver with a blood alcohol reading of over 0.00 may have their Driver Pass removed.
All drivers are required to wear enclosed shoes while on the track. Please see the safety checklist above to ensure you arrive with the correct gear required for each session.
All drivers are to follow instructions from Premier Events or EuroMarque Motorsport Park staff.
MAD MIKE'S SUMMER BASH will go ahead, rain or shine. The event will not be postponed or cancelled due to weather.
All drivers and passengers must have your correct wristbands on at all times. These are waterproof and may not be removed over the weekend. If security or staff notice wristbands have been tampered with, you will be removed from the venue, or be made to purchase another one. If your wristband is removed due to misbehaviour around the venue, no refunds or exchanges are given.
Driver passes cannot be transferred, resold etc. Drivers are welcome to bring a different vehicle through registration if their original vehicle is unable to make it (see below for fees), however Drivers Licences must match whats been entered online to be eligible to pick up your drivers wristband. Entrants are not allowed to swap or transfer competitor stickers to other vehicles. If caught, you will be asked to leave the event without any refunds and receive a lifetime ban from Premier Events. If you have swapped your sticker to someone else's vehicle, both parties will be banned. Spot checks will be done throughout the weekend and vehicles will be checked against the registered information (Rego, Year, Make, Model and colour).
Passengers must sign and indemnity form and pay the fee for their passenger wristband before attempting to get in a car. The Driver may not get on the track unless all passengers have correct wristbands. Passengers 17 or under will need a Parent or Guardian to sign the indemnity in order to get a passenger wristband. Please drive to the conditions and it is the drivers responsibility to ensure passengers feel safe and secure throughout the trip. Please return to the pits as soon as possible if requested by your passengers.
One driver and vehicle per entrant only. If your mate wants to have a drive, can pay on the day to be a second driver. This will enable them to drive your car. If you want to bring two cars along, you will need to register both cars separately.
Any damage caused to any property must be paid for. This includes but is not limited to Walls, Barriers, Fences, Signage, Equipment as well as fluid drop materials. Staff have the right to detain the vehicle/s in question as collateral until full payment has been made and/or the cost of clearing/cleaning will be passed on to the competitor. Drivers are responsible for their actions on and off the track. Police may be involved if required.
Any violent or antisocial behaviour by anyone inside the venue will not be tolerated. This will result in your wristbands being removed and being escorted out of the venue by security, and reported to the police if necessary with no refunds.
Any person caught driving or attempting to drive a vehicle on the track without the correct wristband or stickers will cause the vehicle owner to loose their track access for the weekend, and stickers will be removed. Participants are responsible for your own and passengers actions/behaviours.
