I've just been filling out my licence renewal for my Rally licence, currently Rally National B Stage upgrading to include Rally National A Navigator.
I thought about getting myself elevated to International status because I've got enough previous, but it occurred to me that there is no Rally International Navigator licence, only Rally International...which is a rally drivers licence!
So it looks as though I could get to the position of being able to drive a car on an international status event without ever having driven a rally car in anger and without having done a BARS course!
A bit of an oversight by the MSA don't you think!

I think it depends upon when you got your licence.
Nowadays to get a drivers licence you have to do a BARS test, but to get a navigators licence, you don't. But you can't drive with a Rally Navigator B or Rally Navigator A...but once you get to International there is no differentiation between the two roles with only one licence available...that was the point I was trying to make.
