Investing fines back into the sport

Throughout the year, Motorsport UK receives funds following the issuing of fines as a result of non-compliance with Regulations. The fines range from fixed on-event fines to those imposed by the National Court.
The National Court acts as the highest judicial function, designed to protect participants and ensure that the rules governing the sport are upheld. The National Court is independent of Motorsport UK and has several functions, including Sporting and Eligibility Appeals, Disciplinary, Investigatory, and arbitration.
These fines are then channelled back into the sport by contributing to the provision of prizes, training activities or charitable causes. Over the last year, fine income has helped support several initiatives including:
Driving Standards and Race with Respect
Following community feedback on driving standards, a series of videos were produced in conjunction with Base Performance Simulators. These sim racing videos have been distributed to competitors and are used for training Officials in adjudicating infringements that happen on track, and for helping drivers to learn the art of leaving room for their follow competitors. Furthermore, Race with Respect training assets for the community have been produced and are used to educate and inform on the importance of respect.
Celebrating our community; Awarding their continuous hard work
Motorsport UK recognises its community annually through Club and Community Awards. Prizes are awarded to the community who reinvest back into the grassroots of the sport. Winners are annually celebrated by Motorsport UK across Clubs, Volunteers, Organising Teams and Young Photographer and Journalist.
