What are the different levels of Motorsport?
Clubsport (Basic) Events
ClubSport events are competitions
held usually on a road, circuit or paddock, where the placings are decided by
the time taken to complete the course. Basic Events are those where competitors (including those
new to motorsport) can complete without the need for specialised vehicles and
expensive equipment. A competition licence
is not required for any ClubSport Basic Events (with the exception of Regularity
Trials), but after your first two Autocross or Single Car Standing Sprints you
must be a member of either a Member Club or Associate Member
Club.
Clubsport (Advanced) Autocross, Bent Sprints, Hillclimbs, Dual
Sprints
ClubSport events are competitions
held usually on a road (tarseal or gravel), circuit or paddock, where the
placings are decided by the time taken to complete the course.
A competition licence is required for all ClubSport
Advanced Events and you must be a member of either a Member Club or Associate
Member Club.
Racing & Rallying
A motor race is an event where
many cars compete at the same time, with the aim of being the first car to
complete the required number of laps. Races can be over a variety of distances,
ranging from just a couple of laps, up to as many laps as can be completed in a
24 hour period. Although motor racing can never be truly cheap, racing needs not
be expensive. It is still possible to race competitively in a car which you have
driven to the circuit. Races may be held for specific groups of cars, based on
engine capacity, make/model of car, type of car etc.
