Manfeild Terms & Conditions

Change of Vehicle/Driver

If you need to change the vehicle for any reason, you can do so by letting our staff know on the day at the registration desk. Driver transfers can ONLY be made on the day if the original person is present. This can be done in person $40 admin fee (in cash).

Refund Policy

If you can no longer make the event for whatever reason, there are no refunds however you can change the driver on the day (see above).
Any ‘no shows’ to the event or emailing afterwards will forfeit your entry. No refunds or transfers will be made.

Terms and Conditions

All drivers must hold a minimum restricted licence. If you wish to have passengers in your car, you need a full licence. WOF or Registration is not needed but each car must pass a safety check to be allowed on the track. No exceptions or refunds if your car fails to meet the criteria. The scrutineer’s decision is final. You (the driver) must take your car and drivers’ licence to the scrutineering bay in the allocated time. It is the drivers’ responsibility to ensure your vehicle is properly prepared for the event (please see Safety Check page for more details).
Vehicles are preferred to have a minimum third-party insurance with motorsport insurance for this event. You will be personally responsible for all costs and damage associated with injuries or damages done by you or your passengers in the event of an accident. Downtime Entertainment, 4 & Rotary Promotions, Manfeild and the promoters accept no responsibility for any damage, theft, or loss over the weekend.
Downtime Entertainment and 4 & Rotary Promotions have zero tolerance for drivers drinking while the track is open. Random breath tests may take place over the weekend, and any driver with a blood alcohol reading of over 0.00 may have their Driver band removed.
All drivers are required to wear enclosed shoes while on the track. For the following sessions (Drifting, Roll Racing, Grip Sessions), drivers are required to wear helmets and a race suit (All race suits must be minimum of single layer fire retardant. SFI or FIA approved). For the following sessions (Burnouts/Power Skids), drivers are required to wear race suit or long sleeve shirt & pants.
All drivers are to follow instructions from the Downtime Entertainment, 4 & Rotary Promotions or Manfeild staff.
All events will go ahead, rain or shine.
All drivers and passengers must have the correct wristband on at all times. These are waterproof and may not be removed over the duration of the event. If security or staff notice wristbands have been tampered with, you will be removed from the venue, or be made to purchase another one. If your wristband is removed due to misbehavior around the venue, no refunds or exchanges are given.
Drivers are welcome to bring a different vehicle through registration if their original vehicle is unable to make it, however drivers’ licence information must match what is entered online to be eligible to pick up your drivers’ wristband. Competitors are not allowed to swap or transfer competitor stickers to other vehicles. If caught, you will be asked to leave the event without any refunds and with a ban of future Downtime Entertainment, 4 & Rotary Promotions events. We will be checking individual vehicle against the registered information (Rego, Year, Make, Model and colour).
Passengers must sign and indemnity form and pay the fee for their passenger wristband before attempting to get in a car. The Driver may not get on the track unless all passengers have the correct wristband.
One driver per car only. If your mate wants to have a drive, they may be able to purchase a second drivers band at Drivers Briefing to be able to drive your car. Same deal if you want to bring two cars along. You will need to register both cars separately.
Any damage caused to any property must be paid for. This includes but is not limited to Walls, Barriers, Fences, Signage, Equipment as well as fluid drop materials. Staff have the right to detain the vehicle/s in question as collateral until full payment has been made and/or the cost of clearing/cleaning will be passed on to the competitor. Drivers are responsible for their actions on and off the track. Police may be involved if required.
Any violent or antisocial behavior by anyone inside the venue will not be tolerated. This will result in your wristbands being removed and being escorted out of the venue by security, and reported to the police if necessary with no refunds.
Any person caught driving or attempting to drive a vehicle on the track without the correct wristband or scrutineering stickers will cause the vehicle owner to lose their track access for the weekend, and stickers will be removed.
