Being a non-professional driver, can I have a ride on the race track?
Yes, of course you can. Namely during the so-called free rides for the public. Free rides Slovakia Ring take place almost every day later in the afternoon or if during the day then through various racing agencies (see Calendar). Some days are dedicated to drives on cars, some to motorbike rides. Current dates are published in our Calendar.
What are free rides?
These are individual free rides for the public – during one part of the day which is reserved for broad public (auto or moto). You can have a ride without specified categories in a defined time frame. Riders and drivers can for the sake of time measuring rent a transponder which will record times of each lap. The times and dates of individual free rides are published in the Calendar.
