APPENDIX 3 - PRIVATE PRACTICE RULES When practicing at a Circuit, it is ESSENTIAL that these rules are observed at all times in the interests of safety. So as to ensure that emergency services personnel can be called in the event of an accident, no person alone is permitted to use the Track if they are unaccompanied.

The Club FIRST AID KIT must be properly stocked, easily accessible and readily available should it be required. There must be at least one (1) WORKING MOBILE PHONE available at the Circuit at all times that drivers are on the Track. In some jurisdictions, a permit from the relevant SKA will be required – clubs should check with their SKA and if a permit is required it should be displayed at the out grid. Licence and Rules • Karting Australia Rules must be complied with at all times. • Drivers must hold a current Karting Australia Drivers Licence (“KA Licence”) that is valid for the class of kart that they intend to use on the Track. • Drivers must have their KA licence with them and it must be available for inspection by club personnel when required. • Drivers must fill out the sign-on sheet for every day they attend the Circuit for practice. • The Club must retain all sign-on sheets for a period of 12 months. • Drivers under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at all times. • All drivers must be accompanied by at least one other person while at the Circuit.

Track Configuration and Direction of Travel for Practice Any Club that allows Practice and/or Competition to be conducted on multiple Track configurations and/or normal and reverse directions must comply with the following rules so as to ensure that all persons using the Track are properly aware of the Track Configuration and the Direction of Travel that is required to be used.
