License Question
I dont have a race license at the moment but am planning to do my ARDS test soon. However, I have a Rotax Max kart and plan to do some races at Dunkeswell before getting a car. I know I can race a kart with a Nat B car license but does anyone know what would happen if i turn up at a kart race with my car race license, what would a Clerk of the Course do if i wanted a signature on my license? I want the car license to do some one-off drives and would rather get it down sooner rather than later so its not anothing to do when i get a car.
thanks in advance, ETHB |

Id like to buy a licence for my half a bee, Eric.
Seriously I had the same issue, used a National B race for karting, but when I wanted to upgrade after 6 Max heavy races they said I would have to buy two licences. Seemed a waste of money so I never upgraded the kart licence. Just means you start at the back, away from the carnage! |

So what happened to your race license, was it upgraded at the kart meetings? did they want you to buy a Nat A kart and a Nat A race license?
I cant make any sense of it, surely you cant get a Nat A race license by completing kart races? |

No you cant. You can only upgrade a licence by competeing in the highest 'class' that it currently entitles you to use. So to go to a Nat A RACE you must get signitures from nat B RACE events etc...
The MSA just let race licence holders compete in kating events as a sort of 'perk', as they know many car drivers will often do a bit of club karting in the winter. If your car licence is fully valid (not novice) then you should not be classed as a novice in kart events either (most tracks wouldnt know unless you told them you were on the form anyway!). But obiously a kart meeting cannot count as experiance to being let loose at a Nat A car event! |
