Need-to-know Track Day Details

RMM is committed to ensuring a safe environment for all participants while on track together. Prior to participating in an RMM Public Track Day, all drivers will be required to provide sufficient details of their previous racetrack experience.

The vetting process is the same for all participants, no matter the level of previous experience they possess.

Based on the driver’s previous experience, drivers will sign up for one of three groups—Novice, Intermediate, or Experienced.

Drivers that do not meet the prior experience pre-requisites listed for each grouping can obtain access through the completion of either a RMM Beginner Track Experience program, or a RMM High Performance Driving School. RMM driving schools provide the necessary driving education and safety training to join public open-lapping events at RMM. Check our calendar for available RMM Track Schools.

Our strict pre-requisites allow for all participants on track to know that they are surrounded by others with a similar level of experience.

*Note: If you do not provide sufficient details of your previous driving history when registering, you may be contacted to provide more details.

Please review our FAQs further down this page to familiarize yourself with our passenger policy, noise policy, and all other details.

Please read below for Novice, Intermediate, and Experienced Group Track Day Event Requirements.

NOVICE GROUP

Novice drivers may have had an extended period away from track driving, and may not be as familiar with driving lines or modern track procedures.

Novice Group participants can expect to drive at a safe pace, while learning the RMM circuit, and getting re-acquainted with track etiquette.

Novice Group drivers will be led by an instructor pace car in a “lead-follow” environment for the first session in the morning.

Novice Group passing will be permitted in all designated passing zones. RMM Track Day passing rules will apply.

We recommended inexperienced drivers select the Novice Group for their first track event until an instructor deems them prepared to advance to a higher skill-level group.

Q. What previous “track day” experience is considered acceptable?
A. Track days at permanent road courses where the format is open lapping, NOT led by instructor pace cars, and drivers are able to pass.

Q. I have extensive motorsport experience not on road courses, is this acceptable?
A. As much as we value everyone’s passion for speed, other forms of motorsport that are outside of permanent road course automobile lapping events do not count towards acceptable experience.
Example- drag racing, autocross, motocross, street racing, drifting, etc

Q. Why do you not count other forms of motorsport as acceptable previous experience?
A. We rely on drivers knowing the safety procedures surrounding road course lapping.
(flags, entry/exit, passing, etiquette, etc)

A. Racing schools that are not on our “approved list” that teach open lapping etiquette and safety procedures may be accepted with approval from RMM Staff. Please reach out to us to inquire if the racing school you attended has an approved curriculum. You may be asked to provide a letter of recommendation from the specific racing school.

Q. I do not meet the specific requirements for the experienced group, but I do not want to move down a group, can I just sign up for the ‘faster’ group?

Q. I am worried that I will be held up if I sign up for a ‘lower’ group.
A. After an RMM Staff member has completed an on track evaluation of your safety, driving abilities, and awareness on track, if it is deemed necessary, drivers may move into another grouping.

Q. I am on the cusp of meeting the requirements for a higher group, should I just sign up for the higher group?
A. No, sign up for the group that you meet the requirements for.

Q. Are there instructors available to teach me how to drive?
A. To keep the costs down for participants, instructors are not provided for each individual participant. RMM performance driving schools are a great way to receive specific driving instruction. RMM is able to provide private one-on-one instructors at an additional cost for participants who are wanting this type of service. Please reach out for details.

Q. What is a “lead follow” session?
A. Lead/follow sessions are designed to show participants the racing line and passing zones, in a safe and controlled environment. An instructor pace car leads a group of cars in single file format. The pace is determined by the ability of all drivers in the group, and is increased gradually throughout the session.

Q. Is the lead/follow session mandatory?
A. It is mandatory for drivers in the Novice and Intermediate group who have NOT previously attended an RMM Public Track Day to take part in one lead/follow session. Drivers who have previously attended an RMM Public Track day are not required to take part in a lead/follow session on their 2nd visit, but are welcome to if they want.
