What race license do you need for the Spa 6hours?

joss Ronchetti · 15 Sep 2011, 10:23 (Ref:2955823)

To race in the Spa 6 hours do youu need an International License or will a National A license be OK?

**Peter Mallett** · 15 Sep 2011, 10:36 (Ref:2955839)

It says "a licence that allows you to compete abroad". In our case that means a Nat A, until the EU breaks up anyway.

Quite topical.

joss Ronchetti · 15 Sep 2011, 11:58 (Ref:2955877)

I'm totally confused, phoned the Masters and they say I need an International C & now need a Stress related ECG etc??

**Peter Mallett** · 15 Sep 2011, 12:05 (Ref:2955883)

We ran with Nat A last year and that's all we have this year. If so then we won't be racing.

If anyone argues tell them they're in breach of treaty article 28.

**Tim Falce** · 15 Sep 2011, 12:09 (Ref:2955885)

It's a Nat A

**Peter Mallett** · 15 Sep 2011, 12:11 (Ref:2955888)

What is?

**Tim Falce** · 15 Sep 2011, 12:18 (Ref:2955895)

The answer

**Peter Mallett** · 15 Sep 2011, 12:18 (Ref:2955896)

42?

GORDON STREETER · 15 Sep 2011, 12:20 (Ref:2955897)

Unless it's altered this year a Nat A is what was used by most .

Don't worry Joss, if you do need an international licence, let me know and I'll take your place for a small consideration.

johngee · 15 Sep 2011, 12:24 (Ref:2955899)

Licence requirements for the 6 hour are as stated in the suplimentary regulations for that race but DO NOT apply to the races run under Masters regulations, some of which do require an international licence.

Welcome back John.

joss Ronchetti · 15 Sep 2011, 12:40 (Ref:2955907)

Thanks guys, I was running round like a headless chicken for a bit then trying to organise Stress ECG's etc

I have spoken to Vincent @ Redbook & he has confirmed Nat A is fine, I have also informed the 'Masters' that their information is incorrect

johngee · 15 Sep 2011, 12:59 (Ref:2955920)

Masters information is not inaccurate - as i said previously, some Masters categories require an international licence and it may have been how you asked the question

Mike. Thanks for your welcome. I'm only dipping in and out of Tenths at the moment and having a heavy sulk that I'm not well enough to travel to Spa.

**Peter Mallett** · 15 Sep 2011, 13:20 (Ref:2955937)

I suspect Masters won't allow you to race a F1 or prototype on a Nat A Joss. You probably didn't ask the right question. Anyway the regs are perfectly clear.

Dont worry John,heavy rain is forecast again for that weekend. Nurburgring should be clear though

**Tim Falce** · 15 Sep 2011, 17:45 (Ref:2956033)

Terry, the forecast is for sun so I expect you are correct with the rain. Are there any issues with the roads via Brussels or Lille at the moment?

Peter the article and the subsequent judgement related to a professional sportsman who argued that he was being restrained in his trade.
My understanding is that a weeked joyrider might find it difficult to argue the same case.

lol, it goes a bit further than that. I'd argue it on principle. Nothing to do with trade but more to do with free movement of goods and services. if it's allowed in the UK then it can't be restricted in Belgium unless, for public security or health reasons. Might fail but by the time it got to court the race would be over.
