Keeping You Safe When You Come Back To Race!
Since the very beginning in 2003, safety has always been our number one priority at K1 Speed. And during these crazy times, we know our commitment to safety will be more important now than ever before.
That’s why we encourage you to watch this short video. It details the extra steps we’ll be taking to provide you with a safe and healthy experience once we return to racing.
As soon as we get the “all clear” from medical professionals and our local governments, you’ll be the first to know when your local track will reopen. In the meantime, continue to stay safe out there.

Hi Nadia. We hope we can host that 40th Bday for you in August. We’re eagerly awaiting an update from the Provincial government indicating when our facility will be permitted to open. As soon as a timeline becomes clearer, we’ll provide updates here.
Simon
HI there,
I was just wondering.. what happens with the helmets? What precautions are you taking to follow health safety recommendations?
Thanks.
anthony
Hi Simon. Helmets are sanitized after every race. All racers will also receive a brand new full face-covering balaclava (racing headsock) that they will wear over their head and under their helmet. You are also permitted to use your own DOT certified helmet should you have one.
Diane Sellars
Can drivers being their personal helmet?

Can drivers bring their own helmet and racing gloves (junior)?
anthony
Yes they can Diane. As long as the helmets are DOT approved, have a full face shield (or goggles), and are in good repair, they can be used. This is the case for racing gloves as well.
Toni
Yes, you can wear your own helmet at K1 Speed as long as it is Department of Transportation (DOT) approved with a full-face cover and equipped with a visor or goggles.
