Insurance

VERY IMPORTANT: be sure to have your "European Health Insurance Card" (EHIC) with you. By showing this card, people know that - in the domain of health (and accident) insurance - you are completely covered in your own country, and that every country of the European Union has to give you all the care you need.

If you have never applied for this card at your health insurance, ask for it:

• immediately;
• if you wouldn't receive it in time, ask them to mail to you a "Preliminary proof in replacement of the European Health Insurance Card" (= 1 page, and this can be done immediately);

At all insurance companies, you can ask for a list of the "Dangerous sports" that are excluded from any intervention "urgent care abroad". In general, "car / motorcycle / outboard motor races" are part of this list. But as we don't "race", our activity is not excluded from any intervention. Check your insurance if this is correct, and if not, be sure to be insured (for possible hospitalisation costs).

 

If you have a license of your national motorcycle council to race on a circuit, be sure to bring it.

You will get this back the last night, unless there would be damage in or on your pitbox.

The rental price of a pitbox is 175 € per day + 300 € bail (= 2011 amounts, so they could be a little different this year).

Payment has to be done directly - with VISA - to the responsible of the circuit in his office, accessible via the pitlane through the door underneath the podium.

For those who do not rent a pitbox, the pitlane can be accessed from the paddock via box 22.
