Terms of Use

firstlap is a free preparation planner and knowledge library for track days. Using it means accepting these terms — and the first one matters more than all the others together.

Last updated: 19 July 2026. firstlap.app is operated by drivenerve, an independent EU-based tool studio ("the operator"). For the operator's full legal details, contact hello@drivenerve.com.

1. Motorsport is dangerous — this is not safety instruction

Track driving and riding can cause serious injury, death and property damage. firstlap provides general information and organizational checklists only. It is not driver training, not professional instruction, not mechanical advice and not a safety system. Nothing here guarantees that you, your vehicle or your day will be safe.

  • Your event's rules always win. The organizer's briefing, the marshals, the officials and the venue's regulations override anything on this site, every time they differ.
  • You are responsible for your own decisions, your vehicle's condition, your equipment and your driving. If you are unsure about a mechanical check, have a qualified professional do it.
  • Difficulty and danger ratings are editorial opinion, published to help you calibrate preparation. They are not a measurement, a certification or a promise about any circuit.

2. Accuracy of information

We work to keep circuit data, guides and checklists accurate and current, but circuits change layouts, rules, noise limits and calendars without telling us. Always verify critical details — dates, requirements, sound limits, insurance conditions — with the venue or organizer before spending money or arriving at a gate.

3. The service

firstlap is provided free of charge, "as is" and "as available". We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of it at any time. Your plan is stored only in your own browser (see the Privacy Policy); we cannot restore a plan you delete.

4. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from use of this site or reliance on its content, including participation in any motorsport activity. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded by law — including, where applicable, statutory consumer guarantees in the EU, UK, Australia and New Zealand, or liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is not permitted.

5. Intellectual property

The firstlap name, mark, design system, text and data compilations belong to the operator and the drivenerve brand family. You may use, print and share plans and pages for personal, non-commercial purposes. Republishing site content at scale, or presenting it as your own, is not permitted without written consent.

6. Third parties

The site links to other websites (for example drivenerve.com). We are not responsible for their content or practices. There is currently no advertising and there are no affiliate or sponsored links on firstlap; if partner links are ever introduced, they will be clearly labelled as such on the page where they appear.

7. General

These terms are governed by the laws of the operator's country of establishment in the European Union, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. We may update these terms; the date above changes when we do, and continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
