- Q&A Session: Finally, there’s usually a chance to ask questions to ensure you’re comfortable and clear about everything.
Remember, each track and experience might have its own specific procedures and rules, so it’s always good to listen carefully during the briefing and follow the instructions given by the professionals.
How early should I arrive before my slot?
For a supercar driving experience on a track day, it’s generally advisable to arrive at least 45 minutes to an hour before your scheduled slot. This will give you enough time to complete any necessary paperwork, attend a briefing session where safety and driving guidelines are discussed, and get familiar with the event logistics.

What are the passing rules on the track?
The passing rules on a supercar driving experience track day can vary depending on the specific track. However, there are some common passing rules and etiquette that are typically followed to ensure the safety of all participants. Here are some general guidelines:
Point-by Passing:
Many track day events use a “point-by” passing system. This means that the driver who wants to pass signals their intention by pointing to the side they intend to pass on, typically using hand signals or a designated indicator.
The driver being passed should be aware of the signal and, if safe to do so, should maintain a consistent line and speed to allow the overtaking car to pass.
Designated Passing Zones:
Passing is usually only allowed in designated areas of the track called passing zones. These zones are often straight sections or areas with clear visibility where it’s safer to overtake.
Communication:
Communication between drivers is crucial. Clear and unambiguous signals should be used to indicate the intention to pass or to acknowledge the intent to be passed.
No Blocking:
Blocking, or actively preventing another driver from passing, is generally discouraged and may be against the rules. Participants are usually expected to drive predictably and not make sudden moves to impede other drivers.
Awareness:
Both overtaking and slower cars should be aware of their surroundings. Mirrors should be checked regularly, and drivers should be mindful of faster cars approaching from behind.
Consistent Speed:
Participants are often encouraged to maintain a consistent and predictable speed. Sudden changes in speed or erratic driving can create dangerous situations on the track.
Adherence to Track Rules:
All participants are expected to adhere to the specific rules and guidelines set by the track. This may include safety briefings, speed limits in pit areas, and other track-specific regulations.
It’s essential to check with 6th Gear Experience as to the event you plan to attend for their specific passing rules and guidelines, as they may have variations based on the track layout, the experience level of participants, and other factors. Following these rules ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on the track.

Are there instructors for different languages?
While the availability of instructors who speak different languages may vary depending on the specific supercar driving experience day, many such events commonly have instructors who are proficient in multiple languages. The goal is to cater to participants from diverse backgrounds and ensure clear communication about driving techniques, safety guidelines, and other relevant information.
It’s a good practice for organisers to have a team of instructors with language proficiency in order to enhance the overall experience for participants who may not be fluent in the primary language spoken at the event. However, the specific languages offered may depend on the demographics of the participants and the policies of the organising company.
