The Motorsport Australia app (available through Google Play and the App Store) will replace existing licence cards, which enables competitors and officials to access an up-to-date licence, which can be viewed on any device.

As previously reported by Auto Action, Motorsport Australia implemented its Recovery Taskforce sooner than expected due to the circumstances surrounding this year. One of the key components of this was to reduce paperwork and focus on IT development, with this app being the first of many developments in this area to be released in due course.

Now that the app is launched, this will reduce the delays members experience in receiving hard card licences in the post and provide up to date details to officials at Motorsport Australia events.

“We want to see more people, enjoying more motorsport, more often and this app is one of the latest developments to help achieve this,” Motorsport Australia CEO Eugene Arocca said.

“Once members have renewed their licence via the Member Portal or with our membership team, the app will update instantly, meaning there’s no waiting for the card to be printed and then sent in the mail.

“Of course, anyone who still requires a physical card can be provided one on request, but as technology changes and people are more likely to move around without a wallet full of cards, we know our members will make the most of this app on their phone or tablet when attending events and needing to show their licence.”
