If you don’t want to take on the Red Bull Mini Drome and want to watch all the action track side or via the mezzanine then there are 500 places available on a 1st come 1st served basis.
No entry fee – However, a donation to Hearn Hill Velodrome would be nice……
There is a bar so please don’t bring in your own booze.

**Due to the limited amount of space available there will not be any bike storage supplied for spectators. If you bring your bike you'll need to find somewhere to leave it, and remember to lock it! Red Bull cannot take responsibility for bike theft, and unfortunately there are some nasty people out there who like to take things that don't belong to them. We want you to have a great day, so keep your bike secure!**
Track:
The purpose built track has been engineered in Germany by Velotrack, the team that built the velodromes for the Atlanta Olympics and the Delhi Commonwealth Games. The Red Bull Mini Drome track will maintain race-worthy dimensions in the smallest possible size to enable a single pursuit. Red Bull Mini Drome will challenge both body and mind as riders will need to navigate themselves around a unique, and technically challenging, course reaching speeds of up to 80 km/h.
A quick guide to velodromes:
There are 3 different designs used when building a velodrome. The UK Red Bull Mini Drome track is being built using the most modern technique of "kloides combined with cirlces". The Red Bull Mini Drome track in New Zealand was built using the "two semicircles" technique, a technique that was used about 20 years ago. Here's a quick description of the different techniques:
1. Two Semicircles
That means that you never come out of the turn and you have to ride the track as a circle. This track demands large amounts of banking on the straights and a lot of steering. If you ride on the lower half you will be depressed to the infield and if you ride on the upper half you will be depressed to the outside.
2. Multiple Circles Per Turn
Here you can create a transition from the turns into the straights. The straights have to be gently inclined to avoid being pressed down if you ride into the turns.
3. Kloides Combined With Circles
This is a track that allows the rider to apply consistent pedal pressure and requires no steering work. For this purpose a minimum radius is required.
