As a member of the RAC MSA, The Orkney Motor Club operates in compliance with the regulations stipulated by the MSA rulebook.  Competitors must follow these rules and the club’s “supplementary rules” as agreed by the Committee.  Essentially the rules that apply to the competitors and their entries require the competitors to act responsibly while on the site, and that their entries must be of sound mechanical and structural build.  For further details of these rules, please contact us.

Most of the current entries in the OMC events are production cars which have only been modified to the level of non-structural lightening.  Before each event begins the cars are passed through scrutineering, which determines whether the entry is safe and in compliance with the regulations.  If the car is found not to be in compliance with the scrutinerring checks, entry will not be permitted until the issues are dealt with (this may result in missing entry on that event, until the issue can be resolved).  If you are planning any modification to your car to prepare it for Autotest, you must comply with both the current MSA rulebook and Orkney Motor Club supplementary regulations and you should discuss the proposed modifications with a committee member before proceeding (to prevent the risk of a wasted effort).  Please contact us if you want to discuss any such matter.

The OMC runs an entry system based on four catagories –

Events take place on Sunday afternoons at the dates specified by the current fixtures list.  Competitors are expected to be at the event from 1300hrs for scrutineering, and will be given the chance to take a practice run around the site before the event begins.
