WHY
Motorsport UK licensed Rescue personnel offer prompt medical assistance and extrication services at the site of an incident. They navigate venues using Motorsport UK licensed Rescue Units, equipped with state-of-the-art medical and extrication tools.
Raf Rescue offers event organisers medical and rescue support to handle any unexpected incidents that might occur during an event.
Motorsport can be risky, and surprises can arise in various settings, whether it's a forest, road rally, racetrack, sprint, or hill climb events. Motorsport UK outlines the necessary requirements and the number of MSUK Rescue Units that must be present at the event to ensure maximum safety coverage.
Most racing vehicles in motorsport adhere to safety standards, which include roll cages, full safety harnesses, and fire suppression systems, along with the competitors' personal protective equipment. For rallies, Motorsport UK Rescue Units are staffed by at least 2 licensed crew members, while speed events require a minimum of 3.
At every event, it is a requirement by MSUK that a Doctor or Paramedic is included in the Rescue Unit. The Rescue Unit is an integral part of the event Safety Team and collaborates with a Recovery Unit during the event.
The Recovery Unit supports the Rescue Unit during incidents and is responsible for retrieving any broken down or immobile competitors' vehicles, which may be located far from the road. The Rescue Unit offers rescue and medical assistance to the Recovery Unit while they work on recovering competitors at the conclusion of the event. Our mission is to deliver quick and dependable emergency medical services to those who require assistance..
