MOTORSPORT FEATURE SAFETY
Jakob Ebrey
Motorsport UK licenced scrutineers assess the deployment of homologated equipment and ensure that all the competitors are adhering to the safety standards for the event
early 2000s, the acceptance and implementation of these was notably smooth and they are now commonplace across multiple disciplines.
The role of the driver in motorsport safety can never be underestimated, and keeping racing fun, fair and safe has been the watchword for Race With Respect. After a trial period with Karting, in January of 2016, the code of conduct for all participants in Motorsport was then expanded to include Junior Drag Racing. The Santa Pod Racers Club and the Drag Racing community embraced it, and it was still encouraging to see the positive effects that the code of conduct introduced.
In 2023 Motorsport UK conducted a period of community consultation on updating the regulations regarding track limits. This process began back in 2021, with discussion at the Motorsport UK Race Committee following concerns that had been raised of deterioration in driving standards in circuit racing and a subsequent survey of all our circuit racing licence holders. The results were very clear – an overall deterioration in the enjoyment of the sport. This was a cause for concern and sparked the beginning of a wide-ranging‘ Driving Standards’ review by Race Committee and Motorsport UK.
In parallel with Race With Respect, the Driving Standards project introduced a range of initiatives and ongoing learning and development in the community, to ensure that the rules and regulations were clearly understood, as well as the reasons behind them, so that everybody continues compete in a safe, fair, and fun environment. is coming to the Scramble!
