2020 Licence renewals
It's a closed shop so probably not worth discussing? but £220 . . . . and £155 for a national, I'm not sure where the added value is, most of us still need a medical!

Thanks so not a massive hike for international then. I guess there are more Nat A sold than others hence a bigger increase.

more than 50% increase for a Nat A. For what? To pay for the HQ move to Bicester? For a bunch of teenagers to get a free 'leg up' onto 'the ladder'?
How do our licence costs compare to other countries in Europe? |

Good question MGDavid . . .
I don't remember last/this years licence cost, just lumped it all together with stressed ecg and medical etc . . . so expensive, about £600 . . . especially expensive given I've barely used it, although will hopefully air it more next year. have asked a Belgian friend re licence cost. it wasnt long ago £140 was Int and nat A was £80. I'm not keeping up with 'inflation' |

National B and National A licenses have increased by >50%
International licenses have increased by 3% The international license holders are probably the ones who could afford more of a hike than the National B holders. |

Move to Bicester is a red herring - long term that will be cost neutral or probably beneficial - the real estate at Colnbrook is going to be worth a lot more than that at Bicester...... The reduction in the number of medicals required will more or less offset the £50 increase in licence fee for my Race A. |

self-certify fitness to race except for an eyetest until 60 when a doctors medical is needed, then again at 65, 70, 72, 74 and annually from 75 onwards.

Race, truck & long circuit kart racers have to have an eye test at first application for a licence, then after age of 45 a vision test is required every 3 years. (10.1.11 b) |

And free eye tests with Specsavers are one of the benefits that license holders get.

MSUK requirements for Stress ECG etc haven't changed, but the FIA ones change a couple of years back to just be a consultation with a cardiologist who may require further tests which could entail a stress ecg

Medicals now valid for only 3 months. Used to be 12 which meant you could get two licenses per medical.
Now we more mature gentlemen will need one every year |

The length of validity of the medicals has not changed, nor has the fact that you have to apply for you licence within three months of the date of the medical for it to be used in your licence application
