The European Union (Motor Insurance) Regulations 2023 inserted a new section 81A in the Road Traffic Act, 1961, setting out that motorsports events and activities are exempted from motor insurance requirements, provided the local authority ensures that the organisers have sufficient public liability insurance in place. As there is no limit to personal injury awards, each local authority may set its own amount.
