(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Motor Vehicles (Competitions and Trials) Regulations 1969 (S.I. 1969/414) (“the 1969 Regulations”). These amendments apply in relation to events taking place wholly or partly in Wales in respect of which an application for authorisation under the 1969 Regulations is made on or after the coming into force of these Regulations. Where an event takes place partly in Wales and partly elsewhere, the amendments apply only to the part taking place in Wales.
The Regulations appoint the Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association Limited (in place of the Royal Automobile Club) as the authorising body for such events. They permit the Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association Limited to determine its own application fees. Any fee determined must not exceed a reasonable amount. Fee levels are required to be published and may not be increased unless details of any increase are published at least 3 months before it takes effect. They also amend the list of specified events in Schedule 4 of the 1969 Regulations by renaming one of the specified events.
A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations. Copies may be obtained from the Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ.
