All use subject to Conditions of Use at motorsport.org.au Foreword It is my pleasure to introduce the 2021 Motorsport Australia Manual. As we prepare for another exciting year, I believe it is important to acknowledge the difficulties motorsport faced in 2020 in what was an unprecedented year for not just our sport, but the entire world. The COVID-19 pandemic saw the sport come to a screeching halt across many disciplines in March 2020, with local, grassroots motorsport leading the revival of our sport as restrictions began to lift across the country throughout the year. Despite the challenges, the overwhelming feeling of those working at Motorsport Australia throughout the past 12 months has been pride. Pride in seeing our competitors, officials, event organisers and Motorsport Australia staff come together as one for our ‘Return To Race’. Pride in the way all disciplines across the sport rebounded strongly and made the most of new technology and innovation to keep us all racing, and most importantly, safe. While the sport was temporarily paused in 2020, our administration used this time as an opportunity to help reshape everything we do. By now, you would be aware of the new Motorsport Australia app which allows competitors and officials to always have their licence card on their mobile device, as well as the ability to check in to events. More features will be added to this app in the coming months and years to allow you to enjoy ‘More Motorsport More Often’. Keep an eye on our website for all the details on what the app can offer. On top of this, we also implemented a new and improved licence and permit structure to reduce the barriers to participation. Less products means less confusion and more time spent racing and less time on administration. You can see more details about these changes on our website. On behalf of the Motorsport Australia Board and our hard- working administration, I wish you all the best for 2021 and hope to see you all at an event in the very near future.
