Please do it, now. Thank you

Once again Motorsport in Wales needs your help please and it is urgent as we need action by the 4th Oct (This Sunday at time of writing) so can you do it ASAP please it only takes 5 seconds 🙂

We need another 2000 electronic signatures (We already have 3000+ of the 5000 required) this will ensure it gets a hearing at the Welsh Assembly and hopefully gets a positive outcome, if we do nothing then it won't and it's another nail in the coffin for Motorsport in Wales!

This last week alone has seen the cancellation of several planned events in Wales and the Postponement of at least 1 more, this is not only hurting the Motorsport community but also depriving local businesses of much needed income, they have had almost zippo income since March and these restrictions are extending that pain for them.

It doesn't have to be like this! Please sign the petition and lets get a hearing for it at Government level.

All you have to do is go to this link https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/244155/signatures/new
Put in your name, email, country and postcode then press continue, they will send you an email with a confirmation link in it, you MUST click on the second link for you vote to count.

Full details of the Petition are here https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/244155

Feel free to share far and wide, Motorsport and Businesses in Wales are counting on your vote, Thank you.

Car rallies taking place in Wales bring around £15 million into the Welsh economy each year.

In light of recent developments in the COVID-19 crisis, and following the address to the nation by the Prime Minister on the evening of 23rd March, Motorsport UK has today extended its suspension of all organising permits and Certificates of Exemption for motorsport events until at least 30th June.

From Motorsport UK:

Motorsport UK COVID-19 Update

It is with regret that Motorsport UK is suspending all organising permits and Certificates of Exemption until at least 30th April 2020. This suspension follows the latest guidance issued by HM UK Government in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. This position will be constantly reviewed given prevailing information.

As the National Governing Body, we would ask all Motorsport UK members to act responsibly and follow the Government’s guidance during this difficult time.

We thank all of our members, organisers, officials, volunteers, staff and their families for their support during these unprecedented times. We will continue to monitor the situation and will resume sporting activity as soon as we are able. We also have a responsibility and duty of care to our staff who will be working from home, so please be patient with any queries you may have.

David Richards, chairman of Motorsport UK, explained, “Clearly we live in challenging times and exceptional measures are required. The decision to suspend Motorsport UK permits on a temporary basis is not one that was taken lightly as the industry employs many thousands of people. However we have an over-riding responsibility to our members and the friends and families of our community. Furthermore, our social responsibilities extend to the broader population and the potential drain on valuable public health resources on which we are all reliant.

“The situation is very fluid and we will continue to monitor developments over the coming weeks and hope that we can resume the annual motorsport calendar at the opportune moment. In the immediate short term our efforts need to be focused on ensuring that the industry that backs up the sport has the financial support that it requires from the Government in order that it can be sustained beyond this extraordinary scenario.”
