bullet pointTyre Disposal
Disturbingly tyres have recently been recovered from the Swale estuary that surrounds the perimeter of the circuit, damaging the circuits reputation with the local council. As a result, anybody found disposing of tyres in this way will be banned from the circuit, without exception.
We are still continually finding tyres 'stuffed' into the bushes and even neatly stacked in the middle of the paddock (!) despite our best efforts to make their disposal easy for competitors. If this trend continues, then, as always, the minority will spoil it for the majority and we will be forced to pass the cost of their disposal on to everyone. Please either take your tyres away with you or utilise the circuits disposal service and please do not hesitate to report any non-compliance to Ian or Sarah.
