Motorsport UK – New guidance: Managing fire risk at motorsport events – August 2026

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.
