Sitting on 10th October 2025 Mark Heywood KC( Chair), Duncan McGregor, Kevin Witton Case No. J2025 / 35 Mr Nick Bamber appeared on behalf of Motorsport UK. Ms Vickie Lewis, Head of Safeguarding, Motorsport UK, was present throughout the proceedings. X appeared in person, accompanied by their parents’ nominee. X’ s team manager appeared by video link.

1. X holds an additional non-UK passport, but races under a Motorsport UK competition licence.

2. Between the 6th of April 2025 and 7th of September 2025, X amassed 13 penalty points on their competition licence arising from breaches of the National Competition Rules( NCR), as set out below. All of these involved contact with the cars of other competitors. Accordingly, on 1st October 2025, Motorsport UK issued a summons to X to attend these proceedings pursuant to NCR Ch. 2 App. 12 Art. 1.6.

3. Motorsport UK consistently applies an interim suspension of the competitor’ s competition licence where such proceedings are instigated but in this case, exceptionally, as the summons had been issued after X was committed to the championship’ s final round over the weekend, the interim suspension was not imposed, but particular conditions were. These conditions included oversight of X’ s driving standards such that if X were involved in any incident, on or off the track, the Clerk of the Course would have authority to remove them from the event and such actions be taken into account before this court.

4. In Race 2, on 5th October 2025, X made contact with another car at turn 1 of lap 1, causing that car to spin, leave the track and have to rejoin. The Clerk of the Course found that X was in breach of NCR Ch. 12 App. 7 Art. 1.8 and penalised them by imposing a grid penalty, attracting 3 penalty points, bringing X’ s total to 16 points within 6 months. They appealed to the Stewards of the Meeting, but their appeal was rejected.

5. Motorsport UK recommend that X receive further training as part of any further penalty we impose.

6. We are deeply concerned by their driving record. The history suggests that X is, at least, too inexperienced to race at the level of Ginetta Juniors and at worst is unable or unwilling to learn from their mistakes, though they protest that they have learned and continues to strive to be a better racing driver.

7. We have concluded that X’ s record, particularly their last breach, where X was offered an exceptional departure from the established procedure is such that there must be a significant penal element to this disposal, coupled with the further training X so clearly requires.

8. The penalty we impose is therefore,( i) X’ s competition licence is suspended from today’ s date to 30th September 2026.( ii) The operation of that suspension will take effect in two stages. X’ s competition licence is suspended until 31st May 2026, or until they complete the training referred to below, whichever date is the later.( iii) From that May 2026 or later date, the operation of the suspension of X’ s licence will itself be suspended until 30th September 2026.

9. Should X, during the period of suspension, be found to have breached any National Competition Rule that attracts penalty points on their competition licence, their case is to return to the National Court for consideration of further penalty.

10. We order that X is to complete six hours of further training, to the satisfaction of an ARDS grade A or grade S instructor, independent of X and their team, and approved by Motorsport UK.

11. We order X to pay £ 500 towards the costs of these proceedings
