HOW TO APPLY FOR A COMPETITION LICENCE

20. With the exception of first time applicants for a Race, Kart or Stage Rally licence all applicants should read these notes and complete an Application for Competition Licence Form provided by the MSA. Any changes to the wording on the official form will make it null and void. After having completed all the relevant sections of the application form, an applicant must send it, with the appropriate fee and a passport type photograph to the MSA. The MSA will use its best endeavours to process and deliver the licence to the applicant within 15 working days of receipt of the application by the MSA. Processing may take longer if we have to check the applicants health. Therefore, you are recommended to allow for this time before the first event for which the licence is required. Applicants with no health or other problems appertaining to their application may, on payment of an Express Handling Fee, apply for priority handling and the MSA will issue their licences within 3 working days. For applicants paying the additional Express Handling fee arrangements may be made, upon request, to confirm to organisers that they are licence holder, this will usually include the waiver of the non-production of licence fine [46] To speed the process please clearly mark the envelope EXPRESS and this should preferably be sent by Recorded Delivery. If an applicant doesnt receive the licence, after allowing for the processing and delivery time, the MSA should be notified in writing. If the notice is received by the MSA within 6 weeks of despatch of the licence by the MSA, it will issue a duplicate.

MEDICAL DECLARATIONS AND RECORDS

24. Medical Declaration All Applicants There are certain medical conditions as detailed in 26, which are incompatible with the practise of motor sports at any status of event. All applicants 18 years of age and over are required to complete an annual medical self declaration as to their medical fitness to compete in motor sports competition. If an applicant has not had a recent medical examination and eyesight test or they do not understand any part of the medical requirements set out hereunder they are strongly recommended to have an examination or eye test. At all times any decision as to fitness or unfitness to compete shall ultimately reside entirely with the MSA. 25. Access to Records Access to Medical Reports Act 1988/Access to Personal Files and Medical Reports (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (the Acts)/Access to Health Records and Reports Act 1993 (Isle of Man). Before we can apply for a medical report from a doctor who has cared for you, we need your consent by signing the Declaration in Section 5 of the application. Before doing so, however, you should read this notice carefully, as it sets out your rights under the Acts and the procedures for dealing with reports. You do not have to give your consent but, if you do, you can say whether you wish to see the report before it is sent to the MSAs Medical Consultant. If you do not give consent, we will be unable to proceed with your application for a Competition Licence. If you say you wish to see the report, we will write to your doctor and advise you that we have done so, and we will tell your doctor you wish to see the report. You will then have 21 days to contact the doctor about arrangements for you to see the report. Of course, the quicker you act, the quicker your application for a Competition Licence can be considered. If you say you do not wish to see the report, we do not have to notify you if we apply for one. However, if before such a report is sent to us, you write to the doctor saying you wish to see it, you will then have 21 days to contact the doctor about arrangements for you to see the report. Whether or not you say you wish to see the report before it is sent to us, the doctor must let you see a copy for up to six months after it is supplied, if you ask. If you ask the doctor for a copy of the report, he can charge you a reasonable fee to cover his costs. If you see a report before it is sent to us, the doctor cannot submit it until he has your consent. You can write to the doctor, asking him to amend any part of the report which you consider to be incorrect or misleading, and have attached to the report a statement of your views on any part where you and the doctor are not in agreement. The doctor is not obliged to let you see any part of a report if, in his opinion, that would be likely to cause serious harm to your physical or mental health or that of others, or would indicate the doctors intentions towards you, or if disclosure would be likely to reveal information relating to, or the identity of someone else who has supplied information about you, unless that person has consented or the information relates to, or has been supplied by, a health

They will then be subject to the regulations of the appropriate ASN. British licence holders of any International grade will be entitled to take part in vents of the appropriate type on condition that those events are entered on the FIA International Calendar. MSA International licences incorporate automatic permission to take part in such events and contain the words valid as a visa, Article 70 ISC. In case of difficulty please contact the MSA.

Non UK Race licence holders attending an MSA recognised competition driving school may take part in up to two national events organised by that school on the strict condition that they have the agreement of both their parent ASN and the MSA. In such cases their original licence must be lodged with the MSA who will then issue a suitable licence for the event, following receipt of a completed application. This licence will be exchanged for their original licence at the conclusion of the event(s). British licence holders of National A or above grade may request, at time of application, to have their Competition Licence endorsed Professional and feature the EU flag. These endorsements will permit the holder to participate in national events within the EU and the Comparable Countries, where that event has been inscribed on the hosting ASNs National Calendar. They will then be subject to the regulations of the appropriate ASN. To enable consideration to be given to such a request the applicant must certify on the licence application form in the following terms: I certify that for the last tax year prior to this application I declared earnings as a competitor in motorsport to Her Majestys Revenue and Customs and I therefore request that the MSA endorse my licence with the word Professional and further with the EU Flag in accordance with regulation 52. ENTRANTS 53. All personal licences entitle the holder to enter the car, truck or kart in which he/she will personally take part in the event. Any other organisation, company, sponsor or person must obtain an ENTRANTS LICENCE by making separate application by completing an Application for Competition Licence Form. The entrant is the legal entity who is responsible for all acts and/or omissions of the driver/co-driver and any person connected with the entry. A competitor must ensure that any entrant is aware of this. The maximum number of words permitted in an Entrants title is six. Only one Entrants licence may be used in connection with an entry (i.e. two three word licences cannot be used to make one entry). An International Entrants licence is valid for all events both inside and outside the UK. A National Entrants licence is valid for all events inside the UK excluding International, except in the case of events for Karts and Historic Cars, where it has the same validity as an International Entrants licence. Competitors who intend to use this licence internationally must advise the MSA at the time of application. Where a competitor has not reached his 18th birthday the Entry for an event must be supported by Parent or Legal Guardian as Guarantor. Such Guarantor will be considered as being the Minors Entrant, and as such will be subject to these Regulations. The Guarantor, or his representative, must attend the event with the Minor, and sign-on as his Entrant. When a Guarantors representative attends an event and signs on as his Entrant, the Representative must produce the Guarantors written and signed authorisation to so act.

TUEC: Therapeutic use exemption committee the panel of experts established by the relevant anti-doping organisation. Anti-doping organisation: the MSA. Criteria for Granting a Therapeutic Use Exemption 302. A therapeutic use exemption (TUE) may be granted to a driver permitting the use of a prohibited substance or prohibited method as defined in the Prohibited List published by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). An application for a TUE will be reviewed by a therapeutic use exemption Committee (TUEC). The TUEC will be appointed by the MSA. Any exemption will be granted only in strict accordance with the following criteria: The driver should submit an application for a TUE no less than 21 days before participating in a National event and no less than 45 days before participating in an event on an FIA Calendar. The driver must show that he would experience a significant impairment to health if the prohibited substance or prohibited method were to be withheld in the course of treating an acute or chronic medical condition. The therapeutic use of the prohibited substance or prohibited method would produce no additional enhancement of performance other than that which might be anticipated by a return to a state of normal health following the treatment of a legitimate medical condition. The use of any prohibited substance or prohibited method to increase low-normal levels of any endogenous hormone is not considered an acceptable therapeutic intervention. There is no reasonable therapeutic alternative to the use of the otherwise prohibited substance or prohibited method. The necessity for the use of the otherwise prohibited substance or prohibited method cannot be a consequence, wholly or in part, of prior non-therapeutic use of any substance from the prohibited list published by the WADA. The TUE will be cancelled by the TUEC if: (a) The driver does not promptly comply with any requirements or conditions imposed by the anti-doping organisation granting the exemption. (b) The term for which the TUE was granted has expired. (c) The driver is advised that the TUE has been withdrawn by the MSA. Comment: Each TUE has a specified duration as decided upon by the TUEC. There may be cases when a TUE has expired or has been withdrawn and the prohibited substance subject to the TUE is still present in the drivers body. In such cases, the anti-doping organisation conducting the initial review of an adverse finding will consider whether the finding is consistent with expiry or withdrawal of the TUE.

The application must include a statement by an appropriately qualified physician attesting to the necessity of the otherwise prohibited substance or prohibited method in the treatment of the driver and describing why an alternative, permitted medication cannot, or could not, be used in the treatment of this condition. The dose, frequency, route and duration of administration of the otherwise prohibited substance or prohibited method in question must be specified. 306. Decisions Decisions of the TUEC will be conveyed in writing to the driver by the relevant anti-doping organisation. 307. Abbreviated Therapeutic Use Exemption Application Process It is acknowledged that some substances included on the list of prohibited substances are used to treat medical conditions frequently encountered in the sporting population. In such cases, a full application as detailed in 302 and 304 is unnecessary. Accordingly, an abbreviated process of the TUE is established. The prohibited substances or prohibited methods which may be permitted by this abbreviated process are strictly limited to the following: Beta-2 agonists (formoterol, salbutamol, salmeterol and terbutaline) by inhalation, and glucocorticosteroids by non-systemic routes. To use one of the substances above, the driver shall provide to the anti-doping organisation a medical notification justifying the therapeutic necessity. Such medical notification, as contained in the abbreviated application form (this application form is available from the FIA at www.fia.com or the MSA) shall describe the name of the drug, dosage, route of administration and duration of the treatment. The diagnosis and, when applicable, any tests undertaken in order to establish that diagnosis, should be included (without the actual results or details). The abbreviated process involves the following: Approval for use of prohibited substances subject to the abbreviated process is effective upon receipt of a complete notification by the anti-doping organisation. Incomplete notifications must be returned to the applicant. On receipt of a complete application for an abbreviated process, the MSA will inform the applicant that the application has been duly received. If this application is subsequently examined by the TUEC, the applicant will be notified of the TUECs decision as set out in 306. A notification for a TUE will not be considered for retrospective approval except in cases where: emergency treatment or treatment of an acute medical condition was necessary due to exceptional circumstances, there was insufficient time or opportunity for an applicant to submit, or a TUEC to consider, an application prior to the doping control.
