Do you need a helmet for track days?

All drivers and passengers must wear crash helmets before being permitted on the track. Helmets are not provided by Donington Park.

Do you need a motorcycle license for a track day?

As I mentioned before, anyone with a motorbike license can go to a track day, though this needs to be either a fully unrestricted one, or a current ACU license. If you’re under 18, you will need an ACU license and be able to prove you’re fast enough to an instructor at the event, so you can keep up with the group.
