In deciding upon the appropriate penalties, we have taken account of the overall gravity of the breaches and on that basis, we impose the following penalties in respect of all the breaches we have found proved.
50. The Caernarvonshire & Anglesey Motor Club is prohibited from obtaining a Motorsport UK permit to organise a Rallying-Road Timed event until 1st January 2028. The operation of that prohibition will be partly suspended. It will operate until 31st December 2026. Thereafter, the prohibition will be suspended until 31st December 2027. Any further breach of the National Competition Rules in that period of suspension is to be referred by Motorsport UK to the National Court for its consideration.
51. Any Motorsport UK official’ s licence which Mr Shaun Bee currently holds is suspended until 31st December 2027. Before any future official’ s licence is issued to Mr Bee, he must have satisfactorily completed afresh Motorsport UK’ s training programme and passed the assessment for upgrade to the level of licence sought. This must include all elements of the National Competition Rules with which we have found non-compliance, as set out above. Mr Bee is further prohibited from acting in an official capacity as Clerk of the Course or other senior official at any permitted event not requiring a Motorsport UK licence until 1st January 2028.
52. Any Motorsport UK official’ s licence which Mr Daniel Jones currently holds is suspended until 31st December 2027.
Before any future official’ s licence is issued to Mr Jones, he must have satisfactorily completed afresh Motorsport UK’ s training programme and passed the assessment for upgrade to the level of licence sought. This must include all elements of the National Competition Rules with which we have found non-compliance, as set out above. Mr Jones is further prohibited from acting in an official capacity as Clerk of the Course or other senior official at any permitted event not requiring a Motorsport UK licence until 1st January 2028.
53. In both Mr Bee’ s and Mr Jones’ cases the proposed Motorsport UK training and education of Road Rally Clerks of Course to obtain a licence must include all the elements of the NCR which CAMC officials failed to follow. Further Recommendations 54. In addition to the recommendations referred to in context above,
55. The Court recommends, given the nature of evidence presented and the potential consequences for all other organising clubs across the United Kingdom, that Motorsport UK should provide support and training to all Clerks of Course and Senior Club Officials which organise and manage Road Rally Timed events, and this action should include( but not be restricted to) the following: a. Specific training and understanding of all relevant sections from the National Competition Rules( NCR) as they apply to events under Permit which utilise the Public Highway. b. Licencing of all Clerks of Course for Road Rally Timed permit events. c. Individual Clerk of Course assessment and appraisal to confirm knowledge and understanding prior to issuing a Road Rally Clerk of Course licence. d. Creation of Road Rally Safety Requirements relevant to events utilising the Public Highway with emphasis on management and control of spectators who may attend an event.
