Event info – the regs for the Pendragon Stages have been published. They are looking for marshals. The BlueStreak targa, organised by Spadeadam Motor Club takes place on Sunday 28th June. They are also looking for marshals.

There are a number of events being held during National Motor Sport Week. Please could you share the information with your club members to encourage them to participate. Clubs sharing other club’s posts on social media is also very helpful.

I’ve enclosed a link to regulation changes. This has been sent out this week by Motorsport UK. There are changes in how they are emailing . There is now the option to opt in to the particular areas of our sport that you are interested in. Proposed Changes – Motorsport UK – The beating heart of UK motorsport

You may also have noticed an increase in publicity around the WRC returning to the UK in 2027. The website for Rally Scotland is www.rallyscotland.org

The event will need a huge army of volunteers to run safely and successfully. There is a volunteer sign up form on the website for anyone who is interested.

Kind regards,

Following on from a post on MSUK website page, I couldn’t find the ‘event finder/locator’ on their website because it is a re-direct of the Sport:80 events page which has a horribly long URL, so doesn’t show up in a website search I have now been sent a link, hope it is of some use.

Sprint & Hill Climb PPE

From ANEMMC:

——– Forwarded Message ——–
Subject: Sprint & Hill Climb PPE
From: ANEMMC Secretary <anemmcsec@gmail.com>

The following is taken from the latest Clerks’ & Stewards’ Bulletin, please circulate to your club members.

Sprint & Hill Climb – Balaclavas
Following several fires across a range of motorsport disciplines, which resulted in burns, the Sprint & Hill Climb Sub-Committee reviewed all personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements during 2025. As a result of this review, a proposal was made to introduce a mandatory requirement for flame-resistant balaclavas for competitors in Modified, Sports Libre, and Racing Cars.

This proposal was approved by the Board in June 2025, following consultation, and came into effect on 1 January 2026. However, it appears that many competitors remain unaware of this change, and organisers are therefore encouraged to help promote awareness of the requirement.

Exemptions remain in place for Standard Cars, Road Cars, and open bodywork Period Defined Vehicles.

For full details, please refer to Chapter 14, Appendix 2, Article 4.3.

Sprint & Hill Climb – PPE
From 1 January 2027, Ch.14, App.2, Art. 4.3 will require competitors in Modified, Sports Libre, and Racing Cars to wear flame-resistant shoes in compliance with Chapter 9, Article 12.4.

Competitors in Standard Cars, Road Cars, and Period Defined Vehicles must wear suitable footwear that fully covers the foot and enables adequate control of the vehicle. The use of plastic footwear (such as trainers) should be avoided.

You are encouraged to ensure that competitors are made aware of these requirements ahead of 2027 so that they can be suitably prepared.

Roy Bell.

Drystone Road Rally – change of date from 5/6 September to 17/18 October 2026

From ANEMMC:

Good mornig,
Please circulate this to your club members.

The Drystone Road Rally 2026

Unfortunately we are having to change the date again of our event this year. We have been informed that a 400 strong Scout group organised Run/Hike is taking place over the weekend of 5th-6th September and through the night, crossing areas we had planned to use. So for the safety of all we have decided to move our event to the weekend of 17th-18th October.
We hope this doesn’t cause any issues and we ask that you inform your  members and member clubs.
Thank you

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.
