probably a stupid question

[nottsguy]

but.............. ive been looing at MSA licenses and cant seem to find the differences between each one ?? non-race clubman, non-race national B ?? huh

[onomatopoeia]

The names are in two parts.

"Non-race" means exactly that
"Clubman" / "Nat B" etc tells you what status of event you are allowed to compete in.

Generally if you want to compete in an event run at "National B" status you need at least a National B licence (it doesn't work this way in all disciplines, in some a Clumban licence will do for Nat B events). Without having a current book to hand to be sure, I think there is a table that tells you the minimum grade of licence you need for each type and grade of event. It might even be in the notes on the application form.

So what sort of events do you want to do? For most people that don't want to do racing or special stage rallying a Non race Nat B is the answer.

Non race is for things like autotest and sprits were only 1 car is on track at a time, I don't think theres a test for this so its a fair bit cheaper.

For any racing you'll need to start with a nat B race and move up to nat A when you have completed enough events
