Anyone competing in UK circuit racing will need a licence provided by Motorsport UK. To do this, we would recommend contacting The Motorsports School to arrange taking your ARDS test. Upon successful completion your ARDS test you will then be able to apply to Motorsport UK for your race licence and compete at a national level. You may need to complete a medical form and or assessment.

You will need:

1. A SNELL or FIA approved race helmet. Any helmet bought from new can be used for 10 years from when they were first homologated.
2. An FIA approved race suit.
3. Racing gloves.
4. Racing boots.
5. HANS device or frontal head restraint.
6. Fireproof underwear (not mandatory but is reccommended)

You will also need to ensure that the car you are intending to race is compliant with the Championship's  and Motorsport UK regulations which will include information such as roll cage specifications and fire extinguisher information.

This depends on where you are wanting to test. Each circuit has a different booking system. For example MSV Testing for circuits such as Bedford Autodrome, Cadwell Park, Donington Park, Oulton Park and Snetterton can be booked directly with MSV. Other independent circuit such as Anglesey, Croft and Silverstone have their own booking systems so you will need to contact each of them directly. 

It is not a mandatory requirement to have insurance but it is something that we recommend, especially for hire cars. Of course we hope that you do not incur any damage but it does happen and it can be costly to repair.
