Competitor Guidance Roll Over Protection Systems for Single-Seater Racing Cars

The Motorsport UK ROPS Guidance explains the roll-over protection system requirements for single-seater racing cars competing in circuit racing, sprints and hill climbs. On this page, you can access guidance on which regulations may apply to your vehicle, when certification is required, how to check whether a ROPS is certified, and what to do if your vehicle does not meet the relevant requirements.

The document also includes technical clarification on period regulations, Motorsport UK and FIA certification, homologated roll-over protection systems, head rests and ROPS extensions, helping competitors understand the evidence and standards that may be needed at scrutineering.
