Hi,
For me it's tomorrow... and I am a little bit scared because I have no idea of what I am going to do there.
I never raced before but I went to a few trackdays in France, so I have a little idea of the main security rules (at least in France).
Do I have to read the ACU Handbook ? What are the most important thing I have to know ?
Advice from riders who were already there would be welcome...
Thanks all.
Tonio.
Take it easy mate, it's a walk in the park.
All you have to do is listen to what the guy talks about, ask a few questions and then do the exam. It's a multi-choice exam and the main concern is that you don't get any questions on major safety issues, flags etc, wrong.
No-one failed while I was there. I finished the paper in around 3 minutes.
Tonio, the hardest part of the test is remembering to bring your pen!
All you have to do is turn up early to get the best buscuits ;)
