Welcome to our Knowledge Hub
Your guide to a safe, exciting and fair track day.
Welcome to the Fröschl Racing Knowledge Hub
Welcome — great to have you with us. Our trackdays are built so you can focus on what matters: getting faster in a controlled way, enjoying the ride, and the camaraderie out on track. To keep things safe, fair and relaxed for everyone, we’ve summed up—briefly and clearly—what you need to know and stick to. No long reads, just the facts — with a racer’s heart.
Schedule & Registration
The paddock usually opens the day before the event. The exact time will be in the event email we send 2–4 days beforehand. That email also includes the location of the race office and the pit-garage allocation.
Please bring the following with you for the registration:
your health insurance card (e-card)
some cash for transponder rent and, if necessary, box rent
your signed participant declaration (if you registered online, it will be pre-filled)
Upon check-in, you will receive:
your start number (visible on the front of the motorbike)
the transponder including mount
a group sticker
and the schedule
Tip: The schedule is your guide through the event. It lists all the important information, such as qualifying sessions, training sessions and registration deadlines for races.
Riders & Race briefing
Riders’ briefing is compulsory for all participants. This is where you’ll get the essentials: the day’s schedule, flag signals, safety rules, and track-specific notes (e.g. tricky corners or particular run-off areas). If you don’t attend, you won’t be allowed on track.
If you’ve booked a beginner instructor session: an instructor will ride the first sessions with you, show you the proper line, and give tips on vision, braking points and body position. It’s the safest, calmest way to get started.
Race briefing: held during the lunch break before the races. You’ll get everything specific to race procedure: start procedure, behaviour on the grid, overtaking rules during the race, and guidance on penalties. Attendance is compulsory here as well.
Tip: jot your questions down beforehand and ask them straight after the briefing—better to check quickly than head out unsure.
Behaviour on the track — simple & predictable
On the track, the rule is: ride smoothly and predictably.
In summary:
Keep your line — no sudden steering movements.
Only overtake where it is safe to do so; be safe and fair.
Pay attention to flags.
In case of problems (technical issues, crash), leave the track as safely as possible and inform the marshals (track officials).
Anyone who deliberately rides dangerously will be warned or suspended.
Note: Safety first — speed with common sense.
Technical requirements & protective equipment — these rules are compulsory
To ensure you can ride safely, the following applies:
Motorcycle in good technical condition: brakes, tyres, no sharp edges.
Drain plugs secured where possible.
Please remove or carefully cover indicators, mirrors and number plates.
Protective clothing required: Full-face helmet (no flip-front/modular), full leather suit (one- or two-piece, zipped together), back protector, sturdy gloves, ankle-high boots. Textile suits are not permitted.We strongly recommend wearing a Race-AirBag system.
These rules protect you — take them seriously.
Paddock & Pit boxes — briefly explained
Box: The parking space in front of a box belongs exclusively to the tenant up to the thoroughfare.
Paddock: General area for all participants — motorcycles, transporters and team tents are located there.
At some race tracks, e.g. at the Automotodrom Grobnik, you will need a CEE 16-3 adapter for the power supply.
Overview of rules:
Park vehicles in a space-saving manner.
Zelte, Pavillons und ähnliches unbedingt sichern (Wind!).
The following applies in the pit lane: One-way traffic, ride at walking pace only. You may only push against the direction of traffic.
Smoking is strictly prohibited in the boxes.
Children are not permitted to enter the pit lane.
Be fair to each other in the paddock and communicate with your neighbours!
House Rules — Summary
Our House Rules apply in addition to those of the track management. To ensure that we all enjoy a safe and fair event, we ask you to observe the following:
Paddock quiet hours: from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. – no engines, music or loud conversations.
No Stunts: Wheelies, burnouts, stoppies and similar manoeuvres are prohibited.
Environment: Please dispose appropriately waste, used oil and tyres, and do not leave anything behind.

Anyone who violates the house rules may be excluded from the event without refund. Click here for the long version.
Insurance, liability & behaviour when drinking alcohol
Motorsport is a fascinating but also risky sport. Crashes are part of it – and every rider knows that: If you crash, you are responsible for your own damages. Whether you misjudged it yourself or another rider touched you – in the end, everyone bears their own costs. This isn't bad faith, but part of the code of honour in motorsport: we want to have fun riding, not discuss bills or questions of guilt afterwards.
So here's our tip: Get yourself covered with race track insurance if you want to ride without any worries. That way, you'll be prepared and can concentrate fully on having fun on the track.
Of course, the following also applies: 0.00% BAC – Riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a no-go.
Quick checks before each session
Before every outing: take 2–3 minutes and run this check—brief, systematic, vital.
Quick check (before each session):
Fasten the helmet strap correctly; route it so there’s no slack. (Use the strap keeper/snaps to prevent flapping—and fasten them.)
Zip up all leathers if you’re in a two-piece suit, make sure the connecting zip is done up.
Visor clean;
Rolling/brake check: before every session, pump the front brake lever several times to build pressure (so the pads are properly seated). This avoids nasty surprises if the brakes don’t bite immediately after any wrenching, wheel/tyre changes, etc.
Tyres & pressures checked, starting number clearly visible, transponder securely mounted.
Our FröschlRacing code of honour – fairness & being a role model
Motorcycle racing only works if we all play by the same rules. Our code of honour sets out what is important to us:
Safety first. Safety always comes before speed. Better to cut a session short than put someone at risk.
Respect on and off the track. We race hard but fair. No weaving, no blocking, no showboating. In the paddock it’s helpfulness, not elbows-out.
Trust the marshals. They see more than we do from the saddle. We follow their instructions without debate—for our own safety.
Zero alcohol. Alcohol or drugs have no place here. If you’re riding, you ride clear-headed.
Together, not against each other. We’re here to enjoy ourselves, improve, and learn from one another—not to be “right”.
We are role models. On track we’re athletes; off it, we’re often heroes to the youngest. Children look up to us, copy us and dream of riding. Our behaviour—in the paddock, in the pit garage or on the podium—shows them what true sportsmanship looks like.
Fairness when mistakes happen. Everyone makes one now and then—a botched outbraking move, a missed line. What matters is owning it and learning from it, not hunting for excuses.
Everyone covers their own damage. Crashes are part of racing. Whether rider error or an unlucky touch—each of us pays for our own bike. We don’t whinge; we fix it and get back out.
Care for facilities. We treat pit garages, paddock and circuit with respect. No littering; no damage. Clean and tidy shows respect for everyone involved.
Live the team spirit. Lend tools, help with tyre warmers, offer a hand to a crashed rider—that’s what turns lone wolves into a community.
Humility towards sport. We’re all guests on the circuit. No one is bigger than the sport. Understand that, and you’ll ride with heart and good sense.
Those who follow this code not only ensure a safe event, but also contribute to the special atmosphere that characterises our trackdays – and pass on the right image to the next generation.
Instructor offer – Learn from the most experienced
Especially for first-timers, that first run on a race circuit is unforgettable — but it’s also a real challenge. That’s exactly why we set up our instructor programme a voluntary initiative run by long-standing friends and track veterans, led by our Chief Instructor, Markus.
Our instructors work with you in small groups, offering tips on racing lines, body position and riding technique, and showing you how to move safely out on track.
How it works:
After the riders’ briefing, meet the instructor team in front of the instructors’ pit garage. They’ll explain the exact procedure.
The first two sessions of the day for beginners are included free of charge — you can take part at no extra cost.
Before going out, everyone who’s signed up for instruction lines up at the pit exit behind the instructor. During the session there is a no-overtaking rule so everyone can practise in peace.
After each session there’s a short debrief with feedback and tips.
If you’d like one-to-one coaching, you can speak to the instructor team at any time during the trackday. Fees may apply depending on the scope. Please note: we’re not a beginners-only organiser and can’t guarantee instruction at every event. If an induction is especially important to you, please contact us in advance so we can plan accordingly. (See our contact page.)
Our goal: to give you a safe start, get you out on track with a smile, and bring you even closer to the thrill of motorsport.
Track day insurance – your extra safety net
Motorcycle racing is pure passion — but it also carries particular risks. A crash can become expensive quickly, and many standard accident or motor insurance policies don’t cover track use. To take that worry off your mind, we recommend dedicated trackday insurance.
This cover, provided by our partner RaceInc., is tailored for circuit riding. It can help with accident costs, recovery and medical treatment when your standard policy doesn’t apply. That way you’re financially protected and can focus on what really matters: the joy of riding, learning, and the on-track experience.
Our tip: arrange your cover well before your event and choose a policy that fits your needs. If the worst happens, you’ll be protected — and you can enjoy every lap with peace of mind. Head to the insurance page here!
