Motorsport UK’s primary concern is the safety of participants in UK motorsport, whether competitors, volunteers, spectators or the media.

The Motorsport UK Rally Media Accreditation system is only required and valid for special stage rallies, single-venue rallies and rally timed trials. It is underpinned by a Code of Conduct, plus strict conditions and allows holders to photograph or capture video in safe locations outside of event spectator areas. Motorsport UK does not issue accreditation for any other forms of motorsport.

Below you will find links to apply for 2026 Rally Media Accreditation. If you are an event organiser for a rally taking place before the end of the year and would like to view the list of 2025 accredited media, please email media@motorsportuk.org.

NOTE: If you wish to fly a Drone at an event, you must complete the Drone accreditation separately. Please visit the Resource Centre HERE and type in Drone.
