Our Responsibilities
Paul Sheard Autos ltd shall provide a safe vehicle solely for the purpose of public track days, Club Motorsport or Rallying that complies with the required safety specifications.
We shall be responsible for transporting said vehicle to and from the racetrack.
We will do our best to present a car at race start that is track worthy and is in as good a condition as possible.
We also endeavour to have available as many spare parts for repair as is feasible
Your Responsibilities
You the driver are responsible for returning the car in the same condition that it arrived, less normal trace wear.
Damages to the car from any on-track or rally stage incidents are solely the responsibility of you the driver.
There are NO “no fault accidents”.
You the driver, must always be aware of your surroundings. Do not place the car in a situation which could result in a collision or damage.
Additionally, mechanical issues may arise during the course of any session. You, the driver, are responsible to use your best discretion during these situations. Please pit in, or park on the stage or short loop as required in rallying, for inspection, if such an incident should occur.
History has shown that most of our on-track failures have been the result of either collision or lack of mechanical empathy.
We understand that during the course of being on track, incidents such as over-revs and locked brakes happen. The car is equipped with a data logging system and multiple cameras which will be reviewed in detail. Driver errors and on track incidences such as contact, over-revs, and locked brakes will be noted and discussed with you. Please be honest and we will manage the incident fairly and reasonably.
