The Motor Vehicles (Competitions and Trials) Regulations 1969 (amended) require that any motoring event which utilises the Public Highway is subject to Authorisation under the legislation. The Department for Transport has authorised The Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association Ltd to undertake Authorisations in England and Wales. In Scotland, this legislation is undertaken by the Royal Scottish Automobile Club.
Motorsport UK provides a team of regional Route Liaison Officers who work with clubs, competitors, police authorities and National Parks on every event using the Public Highway to minimise disruption and to ensure that the Road Traffic Act is enforced. Motorsport UK typically undertakes in excess of 220 Authorisations each year.
The Route Liaison Officer for Scotland is:
