Change Novice Permit Requirements to Races
#38775 from Andrew Jenkins · Not recommended · Minutes (2026-01 Fastrack)
Hi Andrew, Thank you for your thoughts on weekends vs. races when it comes to fulfilling Novice Permit requirements.
We do think that weekends are the appropriate measurement. First, because we believe the cycle of a racing event and all
sessions are what is important to the learning process, and a full set of sessions gives time to be properly evaluated. Second,
there are some regional event weekends with one race, some with two, and we’ve seen up to four races per class run within a
single event sanction which could further create confusion and odd opportunities.
In addition, we are taking a broader look at SCCA licensing, and we will consider allowing a driver on a Novice Permit running
multiple classes run in one weekend to count as multiple events, the way it’s currently allowed for Full Competition License
renewal. (Appendix C: 2.2.B)
