Cycle wings and trackdays
1 of my cycle wings removed itself the other week on the M25 and i liked the look with it off so removed the otherside and the brackets that hold
them.
I've booked a trackday for wednesday and wondered if anyone knows if i'll get hassle about not having the cycle wings fitted and tyres
exposed?

Most circuits/airfields I know of don't allow open wheeled cars for track days. It should say on the small print. Which circuit are you going
to?

They could get a bit funny about it, most trackdays don't allow open wheeled cars on track, sometimes they turn a blind eye if you loose it
while on track, but to turn up without one you may be pushing your luck.

Are open wheeled cars allowed on the public highway ? I cant think of anything other than agricultural machines and tractors which have open wheels

well i was stopped by a traffic officer on Sunday as insurance wasn't showing on the database and he didnt say anything about the open wheels, i
also passed another traffic car on the a23 and again they never took any action but i feel you maybe right and i was just lucky on this occasion,
track is Brands Hatch so i think i'll get some wings fitted just too be sure.

open wheels are a no at brands for normal track days/open pit
as for the coppers they wouldnt know tbh. vosa vans are a different kettle of fish though and they do have to power to pull you over and issue fines
and seize vehicles.

Open wheels are not allowed on the highway unless the registration date is pre 1932.
You may have got away with it so far, eventually you will get a producer and instructed to fix it.

Will also fail MOT I think. I vaguely remember years ago a tester peering for ages at my car to work out if the tread stuck out further than the
bodywork or not.
