I had a heads up from an old friend yesterday that you need a Motorsport UK licence even to passenger at a trials event from this year. But it’s free, so there’s no reason not to register (including as a driver, since it’s just a tick box):

“If you are an adult wanting to participate in any form of competition, trialling, road rallies, etc from this year (even as a passenger), you are supposed to have a RS Clubman licence (or higher) from MSUK.” https://www.motorsportuk.org/get-starte ... n-licence/

I now have a racing licence on the way for the first time in my life

Cheers for that - took about 2 mins

Not sure what I will do next time I’m down at Superkarts though and they say “oi, no professionals”

Yep, they're a nice thing to get in the post, even if it's just a box ticking exercise. You've reminded me to use the lanyard on my work badge to show off my racing driver credentials. You also get a nice sticker.

I've signed up and I'm hoping to bounce up and down in the back of an old car with someone.

I’ll bounce up and down with you.

Not that I'd ever engage in Racing Licence class one-upmanship, but:




*Waits for Wilspeed to show up and trump me with his International B*

I had a P-ride in a Westfield (Duratec engine) at an autotest demonstration

Never again !

I did my application back in Dec but not had the physical licence through yet. Quite excited about the lanyard now

I'm amazed it's just a tick box. I remember having a medical for a Kart Licence

Proof if ever it were needed that you’re a boring b*stard.

I'll give you that one Neil

Yeah, but you say that to all the boys...

I must see about watching Mr Jumper and Mr Mad driving round in circles at some point.

Just a heads up that its renewal time!

Ta. Been meaning to get round to that. Not sure when the next event might be though.

Cheers - I spotted mine languishing in a drawer over Christmas and thought about renewing it.

It's easy to renew; click on the link in the first post. You do need to know your licence number which, so far as I can find, is only on the letter and licence itself, not in any e-mails. So dig out your unused licences and renew.

No physical licence sent this year, digital only, so at least you don't need to remember it if you go to any events.

Ah yes, I've just read the e-mail. That lanyard I got in the pack last year seems a bit pointless now; but keeping costs down when most people won't actually be using their licences in 2021 seems sensible.
