Driver Sign-On Links (UK Only)
For all FKL Hub 1 events, all parents of drivers must sign a declaration acknowledging that motorsport is a dangerous activity. For Regional Events and Saturday practice, the form is created by FKL. For Pro Events, FKL uses a Motorsport UK (MSUK) standard disclaimer. Links are sent to all drivers on Thursdays prior to an event and resent up to three times until all drivers have signed. A verbal reminder is also given during the driver’s briefing on event day.Confirm and send
A page will open confirming the email text. Scroll to the bottom and select SEND EMAIL.
Check sign-on status
To view sign-on status or missing signed forms, select RECEPTION, then select the event and view the number of NO entries under sign-on.
