Sarto,
I recently helped with signups and waivers for the Alfa Centenario
parade laps at Infineon, and can tell you the following:
These laps are not like track day laps, but should be thought of more as
parade laps. As such, no helmets or other safety devices are required,
because you won't be speeding around the track, passing, lagging back
then gunning it around the turns. The pace is rapid but safe, and won't
get your adrenaline going due to action, but just by being out on a race
track with your friends. Race course officials REALLY frown on these
laps being used as race laps, because the drivers presumably don't have
race qualifications, their cars aren't safety checked, and there is no
safety gear. In the past, non-race drivers have been killed on various
tracks when they got over their heads, and the tracks are cautious about
it nowadays. Think freeway speeds on the straights, less on the turns.
Cheers,
Greg Tatarian
