The Motorsport UK has recently implemented an FIA requirement for competitors entering foreign events. This will mainly affect UK National A licence holders travelling to Belgium.

A visa is now required for each person entering an overseas National Event with Authorised Foreign Participation.

I obtained my visa today by emailing my name and competition licence number to the Motorsport UK's licencing department - Michael Wentworth or Stuart Haviland (

).

International competition licences are already stamped 'valid as a visa' and should not be affected.

The UK & Ireland already have a reciprocal licence acceptance policy so again those doing Irish events (or Irish licence holders coming here) are not affected.
