The Motorsport UK National Competition Rules are your essential guide to taking part in four-wheeled motorsport in the UK. They set out the rules, standards and requirements that help keep the sport safe, fair and fun for everyone, from competitors and officials to clubs, organisers and volunteers.
On this page, you can access the latest National Competition Rules PDF. The document includes guidance on licences, event organisation, judicial procedures, vehicle and safety requirements, permitted fuels and tyres, medical services, venues and discipline-specific regulations for race, rally, karting, sprint, hill climb, trials, autotest, cross country and more. You’ll also find supporting appendices covering definitions, competition fees, insurance, competing abroad and future regulation changes.
Don’t forget the National Competition Rules are also available on the Motorsport UK mobile app (available to download here on the Apple App Store or Google Play.) or via your desktop browser here.
