Insurance

VERY IMPORTANT: be sure to have your "European Health Insurance Card" (EHIC) with you. By showing this card, people know that - in the domain of health (and accident) insurance - you are completely covered in your own country, and that every country of the European Union has to give you all the care you need.

If you have never applied for this card at your health insurance, ask for it:

• immediately;
• if you wouldn't receive it in time, ask them to mail to you a "Preliminary proof in replacement of the European Health Insurance Card" (= 1 page, and this can be done immediately);

At all insurance companies, you can ask for a list of the "Dangerous sports" that are excluded from any intervention "urgent care abroad". In general, "car / motorcycle / outboard motor races" are part of this list. But as we don't "race", our activity is not excluded from any intervention. Check your insurance if this is correct, and if not, be sure to be insured (for possible hospitalisation costs).

If you have a license of your national motorcycle council to race on a circuit, be sure to bring it.

Materal damage (concrete: costs at your motorcycle) due to a crash - by your own fault or by someone elses fault - are never insured.

Privat instruction from Simon Crafar

• Limited upto 1 rider / group / day
• Price: 200 €, to be paid in cash @ Simon in the paddock
• Reservations: mail frank@eybis.com or phone + 32 476 691 091
• This is what Simon says about his instruction:

A day of on-circuit instruction with Simon Crafar

"The aim of my instruction is to make you faster but in safer and more effective style.  It is not important how fast you are currently.   The slower you are the more I will be able to help you with.  If you are all ready at a good level I can still work to improve both lap times and safety.
 
After a small briefing, I will join you on circuit. I will request that you ride as you normally do to enable me to analyse what you are currently doing on track.  I make a mental list of these things that I believe I can help you with.   I will then get you to follow me for a few laps at a speed suitable to your current ability.  At the end of the session  we discuss what we have both seen and what I recommend you to try for the next session and why this will help you go faster and with more safety.
 
When you book one of the four places I have on each day we will ride together in 3-4  sessions on circuit. We will have a short briefing at the end of each session as described above. We will have a classroom situation together with all four of my students where I will go through ALL the important things I try to do when I am on circuit and why I do them. This is also a question answer session. If it is possible to arrange with the event organiser,  we will do two laps in a car together (Lunch hour or end of the day) where I will talk through a lap first very slowly, stopping in some places to point out things I feel are important, then again without stopping and putting all these things together in a lap.
 
My aim is to make all my clients improve in speed, safety or both, but most importantly to finish the day smiling.   I look forward to working with you."
