Autodrom Pomorze in your own car: Quick Race and track hire

Autodrom Pomorze in Pszczółki is a driving technique improvement centre run by the Pomorski Ośrodek Ruchu Drogowego in Gdańsk. Here you drive your own car on a road course 1047 m long. This is not a track day in groups with a session schedule, but hire of the track for a short period paid in advance.

Quick Race and Quick Race PRO

Quick Race is a short, 30-minute session on the track, run in successive editions. Each edition goes into the online shop as a separate day with a list of time slots to choose from.

Quick Race PRO is hire of the track by the hour for private individuals, in their own car. The dates are listed in the shop next to the product and can only be bought there; the purchase is also the booking.

In both formats the price covers one driver and one adult passenger. A second driver in the same car pays half the price extra on site. The passenger may not drive.

Rules on the track

The road course rules allow at most two cars on track at the same time. If you hire the track for one car, the centre may let another customer's car on alongside it. The rules require:

• driving to the right, clockwise, only on the marked strip of asphalt,
• no drifting, no cutting the course over the humps and link roads, and no driving on the grass or the verges,
• dipped headlights on, windows and roof closed, seat belts fastened in the front seats,
• a fire extinguisher in the car,
• no studded tyres, and in cars without a roll cage no full slick tyres either,
• a road-homologated helmet for the driver and the passenger if the car has a roll cage.

The car must be in working order. Under your parking spot you have to lay cardboard, a tarpaulin or other material in case of leaks, and you take waste, such as worn tyres or fluids, away with you. Alcohol and drugs are banned on the premises.

Documents and arrival

Bring your driving licence and your third-party liability insurance policy. The centre accepts originals or the documents in the mObywatel app; a copy or a photo is not enough. Before driving, every driver and passenger signs a statement that they have read the rules. You can enter the manoeuvring area no earlier than 10 minutes before your booked time.

What to watch out for

A Quick Race date exists only once the centre puts another edition in the shop. On the day of checking, the shop had no edition after the last one, which had already passed. Questions about dates and conditions go to the centre's office.
