Racers looking to compete as part of Motorsport UK next year are being advised of new licence requirements.

Manx Auto Sport says those looking to participate in 2020 - along with co-drivers and navigators - will need an RS Clubman Licence which can be applied for from next Monday (November 18).

The new documentation will be free of charge and the changes will affect Autotests, Autosolos, Trials, Cross Country, Road Rallying, 12-car rallies and Scatters.

The organisation says the new system is designed to encourage more grass roots participation and to make sure all Motorsport UK competitors are covered by comprehensive insurance.
