About Motorsport UK
Motorsport UK is the national membership organisation and governing body for four-wheel motorsport in the UK. It represents competitors, volunteers, clubs and fans, issues the competition licences, and sets the rules that events run to.
Once you have your licence, the next question is usually the kit. Garreth’s advice is to read the regulations for the championship or events you plan to enter before buying anything, because they set what your seat, harness and racewear need to meet. We are always happy to talk it through.
