Hi everyone

Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting hold of a copy of the MSA Blue Book online please? I could do with it pretty sharpish.

I'm not registered on the site myself, but I seem to remember that you need to do that to access the online Blur Book.

Calling the MSA might have been a more productive use of your time than writing a thread on here... wink

You get a copy with any MSA licence. You can buy copies from the MSA. The motor club you belong to gets three copies when they register with the MSA each year and so should be able to loan you one.

Licence holders can read it online on the MSA site, I don't think non-licence holders get access to that section.

Can't say too much but I'm part of the design team for the new pit lane and paddock at Silverstone - I think there are some key requirements in the MSA Blue Book for each class of race that I can apply to my design to back up some assumptions, I was just after a copy to confirm what these were. I've ordered a copy from the MSA website for our office for £24(couldn't find it earlier!)

Best solution - if you've got a spare 4 hours.....

Mac, you should also review the FIA requirements as they will potentially vary to the MSA ones.

Ideally, you should speak to people (like me) who work within pit lanes to find out what actually goes on biggrin Mainly people don't and that's why we get pit lanes like Donington which launch cars in the pit lane over the humps.

Just fit 6 pointers anyway. You'll be much better protected in a bump. I think they are only about £100 anyway, and you could sell your old ones on Ebay to a Corsa racer wannabee.

The Donington pit lane was designed to meet MotoGP regulations for a flat surface area around the garage fronts, prior to that update it had a conventional slope such as seen at Brands Hatch.

Entire blue book here http://msauk.org/site/cms/contentviewarticle.asp?a...

each section as its own pdf, you will likely need to cross-reference the specific regulations for your discipline with C(c) (safety). Since you didn't specify what discipline it is impossible to answer your question as posed.
