DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS – X

Introduction:

1.

2. Mr Bamber advises that X competes in the Ginetta Junior Championship and produces to the Court four Decision sheets made by Clerks of the Course, one from Donington Park on 7th September 2024, two from Silverstone, one dated 3rd November 2024, the other 27th April this year followed by one from Snetterton on 13th July.

3. The Decisions, in date order, show that X was found Guilty of failing to comply with yellow flags, Repetition of serious mistakes, causing a collision and again causing a collision.

4. X’ s solicitor explained that X, having never been involved in Karting, had comparatively little experience of competing in motorsport and that with one exception the penalties imposed had been just reprimands or place penalties. Reference was made to what might be regarded as a lack of care and guidance given toward X in his motorsport to date and it was felt that this had really not helped X in acquiring the skill and knowledge which he would need in order to progress in his motorsport career. Steps had already been taken to redress those difficulties

5. X addressed the Court, expressed remorse for what had happened and gave more details of the difficulties to which X’ s solicitor had referred.

The Decision of this Court is that: 1. X’ s licence will be suspended for a period of twelve months with effect from 21 July.

2. X is required to complete a minimum of six hours of driving re-education with an independent ARDS“ A” or“ S” grade accredited Instructor whose identity must first be notified to and approved by Motorsport UK’ s head of Race.

3. Upon completion of the course of instruction, the instructor shall provide a written report on X’ s participation, conduct and perceived improvement in his driving and general competence to hold a Competition Licence.

4. That written report is to be submitted to Motorsport UK’ s Head of Race.

5. Once a satisfactory report has been submitted the remaining period of suspension will itself be suspended provided no further offences are committed within that period. In the event that any further offences are committed the matter will be referred back to this Court.

6. Provided no further offences are committed, the penalty points will be removed from X’ s licence at the expiration of the period of suspension.

7. X will pay a contribution toward the costs of this Court in the sum of five hundred pounds Sterling(£ 500.00).
