Dexter Autosport believes in giving drivers the most freedom possible on the track, while striving to maintain a safe and collaborative environment for drivers of all skill levels. A few simple track rules and conventions help us maintain safety and enjoyment throughout the day.

When pitting out, registered drivers are required to slow and clearly display their Driver’s wrist-band to the marshal at the pit exit.  Passengers are required to display their distinctive Passenger wristbands as well. This ensures that only certified drivers are allowed onto the track, and that guest passengers are accounted for. Drivers on the track and entering the track are required to observe the blend lines at both the pit exit and entrance.

Cars are permitted to stay on the track as long as they like, unless flagged by marshals to return.  Standard racing flag colours are used by all track marshals. A yellow flag signifies a local caution – no passing is allowed in the area, and drivers are asked to slow down until clear. A red flag signifies a full course stop. Drivers should enter the pits at the end of their current lap. A blue flag notifies slower cars of a slower car behind that should be allowed to pass. A black flag tells a driver he must get off the track, returning to the pit at the end of the lap. 

Passing procedures are simple, and encourage cooperation between drivers.  When faster cars approach, the slower vehicle ahead uses their turn signal to let the faster car go by. The slower car will signal on the side on which they wish the faster car to pass. A right hand signal, for example, means pass on the right. Passing is permitted only when the car being overtaken has signaled its awareness of the passing vehicle.

Drivers returning to the pits are required to signal their intention to move to the pit lane, and remain on the correct side of the pit entrance blend line. During breaks, drivers are free to remain in the pit area as long as they wish between stints. After the morning Drivers’ Meeting, these breaks are often the best opportunity to get to know fellow drivers better, learn more about each other’s cars, track experience, and often go for rides in other drivers’ cars.
