Motor sport event; application for a permit

A motor sport event that is not to take place exclusively on public traffic areas requires a permit under safety law from the district authorities, independent cities or large district towns.

The permit must be refused if it appears necessary to prevent danger to life, health or property or to protect against significant disadvantages or significant nuisances for the general public or neighborhood or against significant impairment of nature or the landscape. The same applies if other public law regulations conflict with this.

To protect these legal interests, the district offices, independent cities or large district towns can issue orders for individual cases.

For motor sport events that are to take place exclusively or partially on public traffic areas, only or additionally a traffic permit is required from the responsible road traffic authority.

• Permit application

  In addition to the name of the organizer, the application must also contain information about the type, location and time of the event as well as the number of participants to be admitted.

An organizer in this sense is anyone who creates the conditions for the holding and implementation of the event through organization and management or in any other significant way. In addition to naming the organizer, the application must in any case contain information on the type, place and time of the event as well as the number of participants to be admitted.

However, it is advisable to submit the application for a permit at an early stage.

The complete application for a permit must be submitted to the competent authority in good time so that it has a reasonable period of time to review the eligibility for approval."
