public, where the risks of injury or death are present. - I have examined and made myself aware of the racing venue, safety equipment, safety
facilities and any other aspect of the venue and I am satisfied and accept the risks that exist
in this environment.
If at any time I consider the course or sections of the venue to be unsafe, I will voluntarily
withdraw from participating in the event.
I understand that the Rules and Regulations and any equipment or inspections required by
those Rules cannot guarantee the safety of my equipment or myself and in some
circumstances may make participation more dangerous.

any faults with that equipment.

arising from my participation in this event and I have advised my family and heirs of this.
Neither I, nor my family or heirs will take Legal Proceedings against Team ST/RS, Rhino

that I have the owner’s permission to drive such vehicle and that I am duly authorised on behalf of
the owner to furnish the Indemnities given above on behalf of the owner of such vehicle as well.

in any way fail in my behaviour or attitude to meet the safety standard pertaining to the safety of
the group.
