Why do I need another licence ? Motorsport is a dangerous and expensive activity. Because of this there are certain barriers to enter which need to be covered. The first thing that needs to be obtained is a race license. There are a number of different types of licenses that can be obtained depending on the type of motorsport being undertaken. For UK circuit racing you need a Race Inter Club licence (or National B in the old terminology).
Track day vs Racing Before I invested in anything to do with racing, the first thing I did was book a track day. Track days are mainly held at the same circuits race meetings are held at, but the differences on the day are quite large. Motor racing in the UK is very strictly controlled and falls under the governing body Motorsports UK (previously called the MSA). There are a few barriers of entry to go racing, which I'll cover in another post.
Going motor racing is one of the most addictive sports I have every competed in. The highs and lows, passions, competition, time and energy required is not something to step into lightly. This blog is my mind dump on all things racing; from the first initial track days, building a workshop so I had space to house a car in the garage, researching which championship to enter, buying a car, building a car, fixing a car…… its all here for people to see.
