ORC SET FOR FUTURE 
CHALLENGES

Below please find reproduced a copy of a letter
issued to all drivers by the ORC;



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.
