An ACU (Auto Cycle Union) license is required to compete in certain motorcycle racing events on our calendar.

What is an ACU license?

The Auto Cycle Union is the governing body for motorcycle sport in the UK and Ireland. An ACU license allows you to compete in sanctioned events under ACU rules and provides personal accident and third-party liability insurance coverage.

Who needs one?

Some events on our calendar are run under ACU regulations and require riders to hold a valid ACU license. Check each event's details — it will be clearly indicated if an ACU license is required.
