How it Works
Everything you need to go from complete beginner to confident competitor — in three simple steps.
Simple, bitesized learning, and free to start.
1. Download the App
Get the Online Motorsport Academy app for free on iOS or Android. No account required to start — just open it and begin.
2. Pick a Course
Choose from structured courses covering flag signals, safety, race craft, regulations, and more. Work through them at your own pace.
3. Test Your Knowledge
Each module ends with an interactive quiz. Pass to confirm you've understood the material before moving on.
4. Pre-Licence Assessment (On-Track)
Put all your car control theory into practice, with a half day on-track assessment with our professional instructors. You can attempt the Novice Racing Driver Test on your own of course, but we highly advise some tuition first. This will ensure you are 100% ready for your practical and theory, and start your racing career with the best foundation.
5. Preparation for Your First Race Weekend
From scrutineering to signing on, learn exactly what happens at a race weekend so you arrive confident and ready to compete. You need to be in the right mind set to go racing, and have plenty of free headspace. Being 100% prepared makes this a lot easier.
6. Your First Drive
Now you're licensed and ready to race - just getting to this point is a huge achievement. But before the learning really starts, you need something to drive. We've teamed up with lots of teams around the country with drives available to suit you. Classics, modern cars, single seaters, and everything in between, we;ll have it covered. Or if you want to build your own race car, we have a course for that too!
