For 2012 Shakespeare County Raceway offers a wide and varied selection of Public Track Day RWYB events catering for all tastes. To compete all you need is a vehicle. This will be checked for safeness by the raceway's knowledgeable scrutineering crew, seatbelts, suitable clothing, a valid driving licence and a crash helmet. Crash helmets are NOW a requirement of the Raceway for all drivers taking part in any RWYB Public Track Day or lifstyle events. There will be no exceptions. The requirement is there for your safety. If you are competing with a motorcycle, helmet, leathers, gloves and boots are all required. No trainers of jeans are allowed.

General raceway admission for Public Track Day RWYB's is £12 per person or £22 for a weekend pass. Track fee is £20 per day or £35 for a weekend of unlimited runs or at least until the fuel runs out! There's no pre booking either. Just arrive at the track and we'll take care of the rest. Check out our Safety Requirements pdf page in the Downloads section of this web site.
