MSUK Kart Club Licence FAQs

All new Motorsport UK Super KX permit racing for 2024

In association with Motorsport UK, the 2024 Warden Law Kart Club Spring Championship will be once again run under the new Super KX (kart clubman) permit.

The permit allows drivers to race at Warden Law and gain signatures towards an interclub licence without having to do a full ARKS test.

The free and easily accessible RS Clubman licence can be applied for online and completed in less than 15 minutes with an online ARKS theory test to complete the application. See our FAQs below.

This new form of licencing will suit beginners looking for a simple stepping stone to MSUK racing and provide experienced racers with a championship that has the structure and standardised regulations of MSUK racing. It will also provide the reassurance that judicial procedures are followed, overseen by licenced officials, to allow clean fair racing.

The FOC licence will also offer competitors the peace of mind of personal accident insurance in the event of the unexpected as well as a host of other MSUK member benefits.
