Please be advised that the below article, posted in the January Clerks and Stewards bulletin, relates to karting only. Please find a link to the Waived Judicial Hearing Log here. This can also be found on the Resource Centre. If used on Event, this document should be included in the Motorsport UK Steward Documentation.
One of the regulation changes for the 2026 season is that Competitors now have the right to waive their right to a judicial hearing when a technical non-compliance is not contested. The specific National Competition Rule reference for this is Chapter 18, Appendix 6, Article 3. It is important to note that this means that a non-compliance report still needs to be created and a decision sheet produced for the outcome, but the judicial hearing does not need to take place. Motorsport UK will continue to work with the timing providers to make this process more automated. In the meantime, we have created a more simple log, which we will circulate to the Clubs.
