What do I wear?
- Participants must wear enclosed shoes such as sneakers. Slip on Shoes / Thongs / Slides cannot be worn.
- Long Hair must be tied up in a bun & hair cannot stick out from under a helmet.
- T-shirts / Singlets / Shorts / Long Pants / Jeans / Activewear / Jumpers / Jackets are all fine to wear while participating.
- Participants cannot wear Long Skirts / Long Dresses / Scarves (including Head Scarves) / Long Cardigans / Loose Wraps. This is because items that are loose / flowing or have the potential to become entangled while the kart is being operated and can cause harm to the participant.
- We are an Outdoor Venue, so Participants should keep this in mind and stay Sun Smart.
- As a Venue, we must at all times be in compliance with Industry, Insurance and Operational requirements for Go Karting in Australia to ensure that we deliver our services in a safe and compliant manner, if you are unable to comply with the dress code, we are unable to allow you to participate, as we cannot make exceptions to the dress code as doing so would mean we are providing a service in an unsafe manner and failure to follow the dress code would place a participant at serious risk if they were to operate a Go Kart.
- We acknowledge individuals may choose to wear religious coverings, and support their right to do so, however if your religious covering prohibits you from being able to fit your head into a helmet, OR if your covering poses an entanglement risk (a covering secured by pins may still come loose & thus poses an entanglement risk), then you would not be able to participate as your safety would be compromised if you were to operate a Kart and were not in accordance with the Dress Code.
- If you require privacy to remove your covering before the start of your sessions, we have special considerations in place to accommodate same, and you will be provided with a balaclava and can take a helmet from the pit area in advance of your session, so that you head to the bathrooms and have privacy to get ready for your session. At the conclusion of your session you may then head to the bathroom and have privacy to remove the helmet and then return the helmet to the pits when you are ready.
- Individuals who do not comply with the dress code are not eligible to participate, but are welcome to remain on site and cheer on friends / family / colleagues who may be participating.
