If you are going to race abroad, then you will need a start permission from the ACU.

In the manner in which we organised the trip to Assen this includes insurance, medical expenses and repatriation costs for the rider.

If you need any help get in touch.

If you dont get a start permission then you are going to have some serious trouble with the ACU com renewal time

Bit of an update on this one, and also a question for Chris.

It looks like I'm not going to be able to race when I get to the US, because of the insurance situation, or lack of it.

I could only get one company to insure me for the actual race day, and they wanted me to take out a full years policy, which expired on the 31st of December this year, and cost £750

Now If I were going to be racing throughout the year, as I may do next season if I get chance, then that would have ben worthwhile, but for one race, no way.

I've secured cover for the 2 non competitive practice days before the race at Willow Springs though, and also for the Laguna Seca track day, so I'll still be able to post an appraisal of the US racing scene. Pretty bummed out about not being able to take the fire (copyright Fil2) to those Yankee dogs though!

Now the question for Chris.

I rang the ACU and asked to get start permission. I was told that I needed a national licence to get start permission (which I don't have), and that my only other option was to get a release and secure my own insurance.

If this is the case, how did all the novices and clubman riders manage to get start permission for Assen last year, and how will they do the same for this year?

Are the rules different if you cross the Atlantic or something?..It's not something that I considered until I was filling in mY DD forms this morning and came across the fact on the Assen registration form...Hmmmm!

Confused of Lincoln.
