In light of recent developments in the COVID-19 crisis, and following the address to the nation by the Prime Minister on the evening of 23rd March, Motorsport UK has today extended its suspension of all organising permits and Certificates of Exemption for motorsport events until at least 30th June.

Originally, the FIA ​​Karting Academy Trophy included an educational part that was evaluated on interactive kiosks before each Competition.  In 2019, youth training made a comeback through an effective collaboration with Formula Medicine. Formula Medicine is a Driver training organisation created more than 30 years ago by Dr. Riccardo Ceccarelli. It is characterised by extraordinary experience and a scientific approach based on solid medical bases and constant evolution. Its area of ​​expertise ranges from karting to Formula 1, having worked with more than 1,500 drivers, around 200 each year.

MSA offices are now closed and will reopen when the national lockdown brought about by the coronavirus is lifted by the government.

I would like to thank our motorsport community for its incredible response to the challenges we are facing. From across the country, from our clubs, officials and competitors, venues, teams and engineering firms there is a solidarity to face the crisis and work together to find solutions. We thank all of the medical teams across the UK for working tirelessly to keep us safe, and in particular the huge number from our own community who are in the front line of this battle.

Following the Government's announcements today, KartSport New Zealand regrets to advise that all affiliated Club Tracks and Complexes are closed for all activity with immediate effect until further notice. All Competition Permits Suspended: Following the government’s latest COVID-19 announcement regarding non-essential travel or gatherings, the KartSport New Zealand Executive regrets to advise that all KartSport New Zealand event Permits, including Club Days, are suspended until further notice. If you are busy working on sustaining your business, job and or protecting the safety of your family there is no need to read further at this time.
