Dear Driver

The ORCi, in conjunction with BriSCA, have spent the Winter months addressing and evaluating the increasing legislatory requirements in our sport, both now, and over the coming years. This is particularly important in areas such as Noise and Health & Safety.

These are issues that affect the very continuance of our sport and ORCi / BriSCA promoters have committed a significant amount of money to evaluate and produce policies that will assist in the sports very survival and statutory compliance 

Accredited professional consultants are being engaged to work with promoters in all specialty areas to complete this major task.

As you will imagine, the work carries a significant cost and considerable time input for promoters. This project is designed to ensure racing continues to grow and prosper for drivers as much as promoters.

Given the level of investment required, at a recent meeting of the ORCi it was unanimously agreed that from Saturday 31st May 2008 drivers of all formulae racing at ORCi tracks will be required to pay a nominal ORCi levy of £1 per competitor at each meeting they race in, as a contribution to help fund the project.  The Fund was recently originated by financial contributions sourced by promoters. This levy goes direct to the ORCi and is 'ring fenced' for the exclusive use of improving Health and Safety within our sport

We feel confident that drivers will agree that sharing this burden as a sport assists in protecting and benefiting the future for everyone involved.
