FAQs about our Motorsport Medical

How long is my Motorsport UK medical valid?

The medical report is valid for 12 months from the date of the examination. You must submit your license application to Motorsport UK within this window.

Do I need a Resting ECG for my race license?

If you are under 45, you generally only need a physical exam and vision test. However, an ECG is mandatory if you are applying for an International license, or if you are over a certain age (typically 60+ annually, or at 5-year intervals starting at 45/50 depending on the specific license class).

What vision standards are required for racing?

You must meet a specific visual acuity (usually 6/6 in the better eye and 6/12 in the other). Colour vision is also tested; if you have a colour deficiency, it doesn’t always stop you from racing, but it may restrict you from certain categories.

What if I have a pre-existing heart condition?

Our doctors will assess your stability. For higher-level licenses, Motorsport UK may require an “Exercise Stress Test” (ECG while on a treadmill) rather than just a resting one.

Can I get my results the same day?

Yes. Your doctor will complete and sign your MSUK medical form during the appointment, and you can take it with you immediately.

What should I wear for the ECG?

We recommend a two-piece outfit (trousers and a shirt). For an ECG, we need to place sensors on your chest, so loose clothing makes this process much quicker and more comfortable.
