OK, that's pretty clear: it says licences will be required for Clubman status events. Exempt from Permit events are not Clubman events, so this ruling should not affect the majority of road runs and static events. It is still a worrying development for competitive rallies, driving tests and trials, where passengers could quite easily be non-drivers. As for their declaration that this will encourage participation in grass-roots events, what a load of cobblers! I haven't held a competition licence for years, and have no plans to apply for one now, but that wouldn't have stopped me accepting an offer to drive a car in the Dave Wilcox Trial, for example... but that will now be denied me. As Tony says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
