Ans:  All members of TCC events are subjected to agree to have their pictures publish by the club media, for example, Facebook, Instagram, Email, Club Website and this list is not exhaustive.

Q16. ARE THERE ANY AGE/HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS?
Ans: To ensure passenger safety and your experience is the best possible, we request that passengers are a minimum age of 12 years or a height of 1.35 meters. Please note that if the child is under 18 years of age, he / she has to be present with a parent/legal guardian, or the parents need to provide a written confirmation.


Q17. TRACK DAY FLAGS: WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY MEAN 

Ans: It is the job of the marshals to make sure that every rider is kept safe out on track (a job they do fantastically!) and the only way they can communicate with you when the situation on track has changed is through the use of race track flags. The marshals see everything on track before you, be it oil spills, a bike on the track, standing water, or an albatross having afternoon tea, so it would be very wise to pay close attention to what the marshals are trying to tell you with their flags. This way you can be properly notified of changes to the track conditions.

GREEN Flag means that everything is ok and you can go ahead and enjoy your lap until you’re told otherwise.
YELLOW flag means that there's danger ahead of you so take extra care, don't overtake.

RED flag means there's been a serious incident and the sessions have been stopped, so slow down, don't overtake and make your way back to the pits or as directed.

YELLOW and RED striped flag means there's debris on the circuit or poor grip so take care.

BLUE flag means that another car wants to overtake you.

BLACK flag means you have been naughty or there's something wrong, you need to slow and come into the pits asap.
