To get a racing license in the UK, you will need to apply through the Motor Sports Association (MSA), the governing body for motor sports in the UK. Here are the steps you will need to follow:
- Meet the eligibility requirements: To be eligible for a racing license, you must be at least 14 years old and hold a valid UK driving license. You will also need to pass a medical examination to ensure that you are fit to race.
- Complete the necessary training and safety courses: The MSA requires all racing license applicants to complete a series of training and safety courses. These courses may include an ARDS (Association of Racing Driver Schools) test, a “Race School” course, and a “Safety and Racecraft” course.
- Apply for a license: Once you have completed the necessary training and safety courses, you can apply for a racing license through the MSA. You will need to complete an application form and provide proof of your training and medical examination.
- Pay the fees: There is a fee associated with obtaining a racing license. The amount of the fee will depend on the type of license you are applying for and the length of time it is valid for.
The MSA has different levels of racing licenses, depending on your experience and the type of racing you want to do. Some of the licenses available include a InterClub Racing License, a National License, and an International Racing License.
