MotoPark Koszalin: practice in your own car, track hire by the hour

MotoPark Koszalin is a motorsport centre on Gnieźnieńska Street in Koszalin, run by Ośrodek Sportów Motorowych MotoPark Emil Bożek. The venue's website focuses on karts and entertainment, but its practice price list has a separate item for cars. The city's tourist information centre describes the venue as an asphalt race track 1050 m long and 8 to 10 m wide, plus a dirt track.

Track hire by the hour

This is not a track day with an organiser, groups and a plan for the day. You pay for time on the track according to the practice price list. The hourly rate falls as you buy more hours, and a single 15-minute practice or test session is also available. The price list marks the car rates with the note "autumn and winter season", and the kart and motorcycle rates with "spring and summer season".

Rules on the track

The venue's rules require:

• a helmet and fastened seat belts,
• driving in one direction, clockwise; driving against it means disqualification,
• at most 5 km/h when entering and leaving the track,
• following the flags and the staff's instructions; you go on track only with their permission.

The rules ban burnouts, doughnuts and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. MotoPark is not liable for damage suffered while driving.

How to sign up

The price list does not describe how car sessions are booked. The office's phone number and e-mail address are on the venue's website.

What to watch out for

The events calendar does not announce track days for ordinary cars. The Smart Racing Cup held here is for Smart ForTwo cars with the equipment its rules require, so you cannot enter it in an ordinary car.
