We’re working hard to keep your experience safe and exciting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indoor karting is one of the few activities that can claim to be very ‘Covid-secure’ – you’ll be on our huge ventilated circuit, fully kitted out in sanitised equipment, with plenty of space to enjoy an exciting experience.
Formula Fast have implemented a number of measures to be fully compliant with the latest government regulations, which we’ve compiled into a handy guide below. These will be updated as needed, in line with the latest advice.
UPDATES
- 26th January 2022 | RESTRICTIONS REMOVED
We are pleased to confirm that the recent relaxation of COVID restrictions means that we are currently operating as normal.
We continue to support face coverings for guests and staff who prefer to continue wearing them. However, these are no longer mandatory.
As part of our continuing measures to manage visitor numbers and space, we request that bookings who wish to bring more than 2-3 drivers contact us in advance for approval.
What you need to do
BEFORE YOUR VISIT
BOOK IN ADVANCE
All events and sessions will need to be pre-booked prior to arrival. Unfortunately we are not currently able to accomodate walk-in bookings, but making a booking is easy over the phone or on our new online booking system.
PRE-REGISTER ONLINE
All drivers must pre-register before arriving, as we’re limiting the use of our shared Registration kiosks at the venue itself. You’ll be given a unique registration link in your Booking Confirmation, which you can send to your group for completion before the event.
SPECTATOR LIMITS
To ensure we’re giving everyone enough space at the venue, we’re continuing to ask groups to keep spectator numbers to a minimum. However, if you think you can’t avoid bringing the fan club (for example, more than 2 or 3 spectators) – please contact us in advance for approval.
FEELING UNWELL? STAY AT HOME
Guests – and staff – feeling unwell with a COVID symptoms (coughing, fever, loss of taste/smell) must stay at home. You won’t be doing anyone (or yourself) any favours by participating when you’re poorly, and you’ll enjoy the experience a lot more if you come back when you’re feeling better.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE
CONSIDER A FACE COVERING
We’re continuing to support guests and staff who would prefer to wear a face covering during their visit. If you are coming as part of a social group and plan on closely interacting with people you wouldn’t normally be, this is a sensible option . When driving, you will not need a face covering under your other racewear.
WAIT UNTIL YOUR ARRIVAL TIME
We manage capacity at the venue by giving each group specific arrival times. Please wait until your arrival time before heading to the entrance. If you see a controlled access screen, wait until the light is green before heading inside. This may be in place to avoid overcrowding in enclosed areas.
CLEAN YOUR HANDS
When you come inside, you’ll notice a number of hand sanitising stations located at key points around the venue. Please use these immediately on entering, and feel free to use them throughout your visit.
OBSERVE SOCIAL DISTANCING
You may notice markers and signage at key points in the venue, which are there to keep you – and our team – safely distanced from others. Please observe all instructions, and be sure to keep your distance from other groups whilst here, even if there are no markings.
PAY USING CARD/PHONE
We’ll normally take payment for your drive in advance, but in case you do need to make a purchase on the day, please remember to bring a card with you or ensure your phone is able to make contactless payments, as we’re not currently accepting cash at the venue.
BE CONSIDERATE
The new rules are in place to keep you, our team, and others safe at the track. They’re also essential to keeping us open for business. Please be considerate to others and especially to our team, who are working extremely hard to give you an awesome event whilst ensuring we are compliant with the latest COVID regulations.
What you can expect from us
RACE GEAR SANITISATION
We’ve invested in state-of-the-art, medical-grade Ozone sanitising cabinets to fully sterlise racewear and helmets after every use. You’ll always have clean gear to use for your peace of mind.
FOOD & DRINKS
Our new cafe/snack bar will be open during your visit. Whilst we always recommend ordering hot food in advance, snacks and drinks may be purchased on the day. We can also start a tab for your group, which must be settled by your organiser at the end of your visit.
TEAM SAFETY
Our team take daily COVID tests, will be wearing appropriate PPE, and will be observing social distancing to keep themselves – and you – safe. They will be enforcing our measures and working hard to make your experience memorable – so please help them out by complying with all the rules. Any symptomatic staff members will be asked to stay at home and book a test, and isolate themselves in case of a positive result.
KEEPING FORMULA FAST CLEAN
We’ll be working overtime to keep the venue clean and spotless. However, we always appreciate our guests helping to keep things tidy, so please use the bins provided, keep your belongings to hand and avoid touching things that aren’t yours to avoid unnecessary cleaning.
We are determined to be here for you, your friends and your families, helping you create fantastic memories – so don’t leave it too late to book your slot. Call us on 01908 904111 or book online today.
