Relaxed / Intermediate Small Bike

Welcome to the Relaxed Group – the perfect starting point for your track riding journey! Whether you're new to the track or just easing into it, this group lets you learn the circuit, get comfortable with your bike, and build skills in a safe, supportive environment. No prior track experience is needed, but full safety gear is a must. Passing is limited to straightaways - or on the outside of corners - with a minimum 6-foot buffer, and it's always the passing rider's duty to ensure a safe maneuver – a rule that applies across all groups.

Relaxed group is for you if:

• You are new to track riding or have completed only a few track days, and you’re still maybe a bit nervous about how the whole thing works (Higgy’s staff are here to help you at every step. Just speak with any Control Rider in the paddock anytime. They’re super friendly, professional, and they want to see you succeed and have fun)
• you are a skilled rider and simply love going around corners (swiftly but not fast) and having great fun in a relaxed, non-competitive environment, this group is for you. If you’re in this category, there is no limit on engine displacement, but if it’s a bigger bike you must take it easy on the straights and keep speed differentials way down
• you’re pretty fast on a small bike (<500cc) and have excellent bike control and riding discipline; you dislike the big speed differentials on the straights of the faster groups.

Intermediate You’re comfortable with the track layout and can maintain a consistent quick pace. Inside passes are fine, but you still appreciate riders giving a little extra room. This group suits riders refining their technique and building confidence and consistency with more traffic and a notably faster pace. Intermediate is for riders that are ready to take the next step on their riding journey. Riders should have an excellent understanding of the track layout, proper lines, flags, track day etiquette and most importantly their motorcycle. Note, your VIMC lap times are typically 1:40 or quicker.

Advanced Your lines are consistent and predictable, and you’re aware of faster riders approaching. You don’t flinch during close passes and are focused on smooth, fast riding. This group is for experienced track riders who understand and respect proper passing etiquette. Advanced group is exclusively for experienced track day riders and racers. There are no passing rules in Advanced (except VIMC T16-T19 no pass zone) but as always it is the passing riders responsibility to make a safe pass.
