Every two years, we ask our members to tell us what it is really like to be part of Motorsport UK, and now we want to hear from you.
Whether you compete, volunteer, officiate, organise or support the sport in another way, your experience matters.
The 2026 Member Survey is your opportunity to tell us:
The survey is anonymous, adapts to your involvement in the sport and should take around 15 to 20 minutes.
Once you’ve completed the survey, you’ll also have the chance to enter our prize draw to win British GT hospitality tickets or £100 in Amazon vouchers. Simply enter your email address at the end of the survey for the chance to win.
The survey is at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MotorsportUKMemberSurvey2026?Competitor=[Competitor_value]
From Motorsport UK
With the current hot and dry conditions, we’re asking clubs and event organisers to take extra care when planning and running motorsport events.
We’ve published guidance to help you manage the increased risk of fire and keep events running as safely as possible.
It covers key areas to consider, including venue conditions, dry vegetation and other combustible materials, fuel storage, firefighting equipment and emergency arrangements.
If you’re organising an event during a period of hot, dry weather, please make sure this guidance forms part of your planning and event delivery. Work closely with landowners where appropriate and consider whether the conditions require any additional measures.
READ THE GUIDANCE
Please share the guidance with the relevant members of your organising team and officials, so everyone understands what needs to be considered before and during the event.
By planning ahead and working together, we can help manage the risks and keep motorsport running safely through periods of hot and dry weather.
Proposed regulation changes from various committees are on the Motorsport UK web-site at https://motorsportuk.org/the-sport/regulations/proposed-changes-for-consultation/.
The brief summaries on the “Motorsport UK Proposed Regulation Updates” channel on WhatsApp say:
To follow the Proposed Regulation Updates channel, go to https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6aTu7JkK7Dvw7opZ2A
See below for proposed Regulation changes from Motorsport UK.
The link goes to a page of the proposed changes from meetings of various Motorsport UK Specialist Committees in March and April.
Of interest to rally competitors will be the proposed Regulation from the April Rallies Committee meeting:
12.15 It is mandatory for an operational FIA Impact Data Recorder (IDR) to be fitted to all Vehicles. IDRs must be installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions. Each IDR must be uniquely assigned to, and used only in, the individual Vehicle in which it is installed.
If you wish to make any comments on this, the consultation period ends on 8th June. If approved, the Regulation will take effect on 1sty January 2027.
The cost of an IDR will be £32.

Subject: MSUK Road Section Top-Up Insurance Master Policy,
From: ANEMMC Secretary <anemmcsec@gmail.com>
Please forward to your club members.
Motorsport UK has introduced a new Road Section Top-Up Insurance Master Policy, arranged by Kingfisher Motorsport and underwritten by First Underwriting, helping competitors and officials access the minimum third-party cover required for events using the public highway, including road rallies, trials and autotests.
Developed in response to rising costs and reduced availability of cover, this is a positive step in helping keep these events accessible for our community.
A pilot will run from 1st–3rd May, ahead of a full rollout from 5th May 2026.

Please share with your club members.
If you have been trying to update your email preferences, but have found no way of carrying this out on their website page, the reason is that after MSUK had moved to another email provider, there has been so much trouble with them, they have gone back to the existing one over the last few weeks.
They also took the opportunity to update this page so it’s much more user friendly. It is now ready for use if you’d like to update your email preferences.
https://www.motorsportuk.org/contact-us/keep-in-touch/
I would suggest doing this as when I looked at what preferences I had set previously, some were missing despite contacting MSUK last month about this. I will be checking once a month until I am confident that these are not getting removed.
Kind Regards,
Roy Bell.
