Hello,
If I get the 'go racing' starter pack from MSA, can I still race competitively in karting or will I need both 'go racing' and 'go karting' packs?
A big question I have been pondering upon, I can't seem to find an answer for anywhere.

Cheers!

Karting and Car racing are considered two seperate disciplines each with their own license and test, so no I'm afraid it's an either / or situation.

I raced in MSA kart races with a national A race licence in 2003 - Don't think it's changed.........

You can definitely have both at the same time. When I was racing I had international c karting and national a car racing on the same licence.
When you apply for the additional licence (in my case adding cars to karting) they combine the two onto one photocard licence. When you renew you just tick however many you want to renew.
I believe though you have to do both the arks and ARDS tests to kart and car race. One does not allow you to automatically do the other iirc. I went from karts to cars though so obviously had to do the ARDS.

I refer the all-seeing Nordic god to my previous answer in his parallel thread.
ASk the MSA Licencing Dept, whose phone number is here: https://www.msauk.org/Competitors/Competition-Lice...
