TDA APPROVED CIRCUITS

Circuits differ in layout, safety level and run-off areas, but all of them work actively to maintain a safe environment for riders/drivers and organisers. Rental agreements between the organiser and the circuit normally include statutory requirements and specific safety rules that must be followed.

​

NORDIC

TDA mainly follows Svemo's recommendations, or a circuit can apply to have its track approved directly by TDA. To arrange an event in Sweden, a Motorsport Competition Insurance is required by law in order to protect third parties, as ordinary motor traffic insurance does not apply. In Sweden, TDA is also a licence-issuing organisation and establishes organiser licences that meet the requirements of the law and the applicable safety standards. For events outside Sweden, only TDA's rider/driver licences apply, and local organisers purchase organiser insurance locally.

​

INTERNATIONAL

The safety assessment of these circuits is an overall assessment based on generally known factors – the circuit's run-off areas, grass, gravel, Leca aggregate, barrier type (e.g. air fence), official grading where available (FIA/FIM grade) and track design. The information is taken from each facility's official website as well as established motorsport/trackday sources and riders/drivers. Always check current rules, requirements and any noise limits (dB) directly with the relevant circuit or organiser before booking.

TDA's International Licence is valid at all circuits on the list, including the Nordic ones.
