Following the announcment of the 22nd February 2021, Motorsport UK have confirmed that Motorsport will restart in the UK from the 29th March, so the Monoposto 2021 calendar will run per schedule.     

The only change has been that the Donington triple header in April is now a double header as Motorsport UK are not issuing weekend permits (so the Saturday and Sunday are different race permits).     Instead that triple header has been swapped with the last meeting of the season, with no changes to dates (so far)

Motorsport UK, the governing body, has issued a video which can be found HERE and is also embedded lower down this page.  

They have also provided a document entitled COVID-19 Competitor Guidance and the clarification on the wearing of facemasks.

• COVID-19 Competitor Guidance - Motorsport UK
• Face Mask Guidance - Motorsport UK
  (Note: visors are considered inadequate)
• Motorsport UK also has a dedicated Covid-19 page

Below is the procedures for the end of the 2020 season, and MSVR's guideance for the 2021 season is much the same - online sign-on, scruitineering and briefings, limiting the number of helpers to a minimum and separation of paddock and public spaces. 

Anyone who is showing symptoms of Covid-19 should not travel to a race meeting.    

PADDOCK

• All participants (including helpers) have to wear face masks in high density areas of the venue - these are assembly area, grid, pit lane, pit wall, pit garages and awnings, and other enclosed / indoor areas. 
  
  Paddock and parc ferme is considered lower density where 2m social distancing can be easily acheived so a mask is not compulsory.  Please try to remain socially distant.   You can wear a mask if you choose to.
  
  The CoC's and Covid-19 officers have enhanced powers to intervene and penalise, and a member of a team could have repercussions for the entrant / driver of that team.
  

• Numbers of entry passes will initially be limited to assist with social distancing requirements and are for competitors and their essential helpers only, not for guests and sponsors.
• Paddock areas and spectator areas will be kept apart from each other
• Garage doors should remain open front and back when the garage is occupied
• Other restrictions may apply at individual venues and must be complied with
• ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TEAMS
  • Teams must consider bringing the minimum number of people required to an event
  • Teams are recommended to bring their own first aid kit, etc. to minimise the need to use the circuit medical resources
  • Teams should bring adequate PPE for all personnel and retain a record of those attending the event

SIGNING-ON / SCRUITINEERING

• SIGNING ON 
  • All signing on for the event will now take place online, ahead of the event
  • The link will be available under the event information on the calendar page of the MSVR website
  • The signing-on process includes your scrutineering declaration and part of your briefing (see below)
• SCRUTINEERING
  • As part of the signing-on process you will submit your car and safety equipment information, self declaring your compliance with Motorsport UK regulations
  • This information will be passed to the Chief Scrutineer ahead of the weekend, and the scrutineers of the meeting will have the power to perform spot checks throughout the event, to ensure  compliance with all relevant regulations
  • Please remember that the standard Motorsport UK penalties continue to apply for non-compliance
• COMPETITOR BRIEFINGS
  • As part of the signing-on process you will go through a preliminary safety briefing. You MUST go through this from start to finish to complete the signing-on process
  • You may receive additional briefing notes via your coordinator or the Clerk of the Course. Please ensure you are also familiar with these before your first session on circuit

RACING

The reduction in numbers of marshalls per post may result in earlier deployment of either safety cars or red flags.   

If are having to stop with mechanical problems, consider where may be the most appropriate stopping position is to ensure that racing can resume as soon as possible.   At Silverstone GP each dry lap behind the safety car is up to 1 1/2 minutes slower than at normal racing speeds with a bigger disparity in the wet conditions unless its a monsoon.
