The MSA ARKS test

Before drivers can progress into MSA competitions, they must obtain an MSA licence by taking the ARKS test at an approved school. Lasting for approximately four hours, the test consists of both a written multiple-choice examination and a practical driving test. It covers all aspects of the sport, emphasising safety and good driving technique.
