General Information

RouteGT Ltd (the “Event”) is not a race or time trial.

Participants must not compete with each other or other road users in any way. Any participant found doing so will be removed from the Event without a refund. All drivers must operate their vehicles with care and attention for their own safety and the safety of others.

Route GT Events are not guided tours; they are navigational road trips. Each day, participants will be provided with a suggested route, but navigation is their responsibility using personal maps or Sat Nav systems. While cars may travel in groups, each participant must independently choose their route.

All persons booked under the lead name of the booking agree to these Terms. The lead participant is responsible for ensuring all individuals in their group understand and comply with the stated conditions, including radio loan terms, usage regulations, safety protocols, and liability clauses. RouteGT assumes that all individuals under the lead participant’s booking are bound by these Terms, and any breaches, non-compliance, or damages caused by any member of the group will remain the responsibility of the lead participant.
