Thinking of going rallying? We can help you take the first step to becoming a rally driver with an MSA rally license

A MSA license (BARS) is the recognized qualification for entry level rally series and is provided by the Motorsport Association (MSA) who regulates motorsport in the UK. Anyone wishing to take up rallying must pass the MSA License Exam (BARS) in order to obtain a licence to compete at competition level.

The test is a great introduction to motorsport and will equip you will some new skills, increase your knowledge of the sport and etiquette, thus providing a higher level of safety for all involved, being driver, navigator, officials and spectators. By obtaining the license, you will have achieved a minimum standard for both the academic and practical knowledge of rallying which is essential for anyone before starting their rally career.

The assessment comprises of the following elements

• Welcome introduction
• Briefing - what to expect at your first rally, safety issues and the BARS test details
• Driving Evaluation in chosen rally car
• Video refresher
• Written Assessment
• De-brief

 

Most drivers choose to book some driver tuition alongside their assessment which is a great asset, as there is no practical or theory tuition given during the test itself. Opting for tuition allows the driver to combine the driver tuition and BARS assessment on the same day. The assessment can seem daunting however the assessments are carried out by our chief instructors who actively compete both as drivers and navigators with over 40 years of rally experience. LRS are on hand to advise you on any aspect of the sport as required.

1-to-1 rally tuition or rally Experiences are available at a discounted rate when combined with a BARS test Booking. If you are unsure as to whether you have enough rally driving experience please call us to discuss your requirements.

At the point of booking you can request a FWD, RWD or 4WD Assessment or tuition package depending on your intention for competition or simply preference.
