| For Clarification on the 2011 Rules, it is as simple as (others have said):
Loss of Orange Vest:
Clubman competitors are required to wear an Orange Vest obtainable from the ACU Licence Department until they have 10 signatures on their record card from 3 diff erent circuits. To obtain a signature competitors must appear in the offi cial race results as a fi nisher of a race in accordance with Article 12.3.3. Th e competitors record card must be countersigned by the
Secretary of the Meeting. Only one signature per day of competition is permitted.
Clubman to National:
Clubman competitors, including sidecar passengers, may apply to be upgraded to a National Licence aft er having competed at, and obtained signatures for, a minimum of 10 separate Race Days at 3 diff erent circuits during the current year and preceding 2 years. Th e competitor record card together with copies of the offi cial result sheets pertaining to the
signatures on the record card should be submitted to the ACU Road Race Department. Only one signature per day of competition is permitted.
National to International:
National licences holders who have held their National Licence for 12 months
and who have competed at a minimum of 6 meetings in the previous 12 months may apply for an FIM Non-Championship International licence. Th e Competitor record card and/or copies of result sheets should be submitted to the ACU Road Race Department. A satisfactory medical examination is required before an FIM Non-Championship International licence can be issued (Eye Sight and Medical Report sections of the ACU Competition Licence Application Form).
....so in theory, if I compete in 6 meetings this year I could apply for an International licence at the end of the year?!!!  |
