Motorsport UK has become increasingly concerned about the limited availability and rising costs of road section & road rally insurance over the past year. During this time, we have been working closely with insurance representatives to understand the challenges, and to ensure fair and sustainable insurance cover is available for all Competitors and Event Organisers.

Following recent incidents and claims, a major insurance provider has increased their premiums for Events on the public highway. Whilst we recognise the reasons for this, it is disappointing that the actions of a few is having a significant impact on grassroots motorsport, potentially making some Events unaffordable for Clubs and Competitors until an alternative solution can be found.

Motorsport UK has been working with stakeholders for a number of months and remains committed to protecting our thriving grassroots motorsport community in the UK. We are confident that both short and long-term solutions will be found as this work continues.

In the meantime, we call upon all Competitors, Clubs and Organisers to ensure that all Motorsport UK Permitted Events continue to comply with the National Competition Rules (NCR) and, where relevant, the Road Traffic Act (RTA). Anyone not complying, risks damaging progress with insurers as well as being subject to Motorsport UK investigation and brought before the National Court.
