Frequently Asked Questions

Where an activity is organised by a Club for its members and advertised through whatever medium that Club uses to publicise its activities, that activity is an event. The organisers have a liability and that activity must have approval from Motorsport UK. This applies only to Motorsport UK Affiliated Clubs.

Such approval includes the protection provided by the Motorsport UK Master Policies in respect of the public liability.

Alternatively, where a group of persons, who may share membership of a Club, arrange between themselves to meet up and do something together, then such informal activities may not be construed as a Club event and do not require approval from Motorsport UK.

Motorsport UK’s Fixtures and Permits National Calendar lists those events which are open to foreign licence holders in accordance with the FIA International Sporting Code Article 2.3.

Competitors and drivers who wish to take part in a competition organised abroad can only do so with the approval of their own ASN and organisers must be in possession of that approval before the competitor is allowed to compete.

Organisers must confirm in their Event Supplementary Regulations if the event is open to foreign participation and include it in the eligibility section.

Yes, an RS Clubman licence will be required unless they already have a foreign Competition Licence, which includes the ASN permission to enter foreign events. This is the Euro Flag on the licence or letter of permission from their ASN.

If organising a Taster Event they would only require the free RS Clubman licence. If running a standard event the driver would need to join the Club or an invitied club, and must sign-on.

Organisers must confirm in their Event Supplementary Regulations if the event is open to foreign participation and include it in the eligibility section.

Motorsport UK are no longer producing pre-printed club membership cards. Clubs are free to produce their own in physical or electronic format. The following information must be included:

• Name of Club
• Name of Member
• Membership Number
• An Expiry Date for the period of validity of the membership.
• Optional Place for the members signature (if physical card issued)
• Optional QR code (if digital card issued)
• Optional Approved Motorsport UK Recognised Club logo and warning safety Notice A.

The Motorsport UK Recognised Club logo can be obtained from the members area by logging in as the club. The warning safety notice A is available in the Resource Centre on the Motorsport UK website.

The declarations are now included within the free RS Clubman competition licence (or higher).

As a general rule of thumb Motorsport UK retain all records digitally for 7 years unless there is an involvement in an ongoing accident/claim, in which case these can be retained for a longer period.

If it’s financial or business related you should keep them for 6 years.

For General Event paperwork (i.e Signing on sheets, results, entry form etc) you should keep for 3 years plus 6 months for good measure. If an Event involved an accident with a minor you must retain the paperwork until they are 18, then another 3 years and 6 months thereafter.
