How can we help?

Motorsport UK (MSUK) is the national governing body for four-wheel motorsport in the UK, responsible for regulating, administering, developing and promoting the sport. It is also the membership organisation for the motorsport community, with various member benefits and discounts.

For a lot of grassroot motorsport, you only need to be a member of a local motor club, and you can often join on the day. Racing, rallying, some karting and a few other disciplines require a Motorsport UK Championship Licence, as do all national-level events and championships. Full details can be found on the Competition Licences page.

Yes, an FIA IDR is required for British, National status and Junior Championships.

The FIA IDR automatically records high-G impacts, logs impact forces, captures multiple impacts, stores data internally, and can hold up to 80 incidents over about 2 years without maintenance.

The UK has British and national championships for almost every type of four-wheel motorsport:Karting - Wera Tools British Kart Championship, British Indoor Karting ChampionshipCircuit racing - Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), British GT Championship, Wera Tools F4 British Championship – Certified by FIA, British Truck Racing ChampionshipRallying - British Rally Championship, British Rallycross Championship, Motorsport UK British Historic Rally Championship, English Rally Championship in association with Seacon UK, McGrady Insurance Northern Ireland Rally Championship, Asset Alliance Group Motorsport UK Scottish Rally Championship, Pirelli Welsh Rally Championship, Protyre Asphalt Rally ChampionshipSpeed events - Motorsport UK British Drag Racing Championship, Motorsport UK British Hill Climb Championship, SBD Motorsport HSA Motorsport UK British Sprint ChampionshipTrials autotest and off-road - Motorsport UK British Sporting Trials Championship, Motorsport UK British Car Trial Championship, Motorsport UK British Autotest Championship, British Cross Country Championship

The IDR attaches with an adhesive pad, requiring no wiring, charging or maintenance. Ensure the device is fitted per the manufacturer's instructions.

No. Each IDR must be uniquely assigned to, and used only in, the vehicle it is installed in.

Full app instructions can be found here: FIA IDR App Activation Instructions Here

Please ensure that: The FIA IDR app will activate the IDR once it connects to the device. Please complete the following checks: Check that you have allowed the FIA IDR app access permissions to your camera so that it is able to scan the IDR QR code. Ensure that you have a stable Wi-Fi or cellular internet connection. Do not move your phone away from the IDR device, after completing the QR scan and before activation confirmation. If you see the message ‘Already activated’ the IDR device has already been registered as an active IDR device. If you continue to experience issues in activating the IDR using the FIA IDR app please contact support@impactdetect.com

If your vehicle has been in an incident at an organised race event, the official at the event will scan the IDR and record the impact data. If your vehicle is in an impact at a track day or outside of an official event, please inform an official at the next official event you complete in, the official will be able to scan the IDR for you. If your vehicle has been fire damaged and the IDR appears to have heat damage, you will need to arrange a new IDR installation.

If the IDR is damaged or the QR code is faded, the IDR function and/or the ability for the IDR to connect with the FIA IDR app may be compromised. Please contact support@impactdetect.com
