Here in Australia a body known as "The Confederation of Australian Motorsport (CAMS), has been in Australia since 1952? The Austin 7 Club in South Australia and The Austin 7 Club in Victoria are just two of the initial Clubs from around Australia to join. Previous the Automobile Clubs in each State controlled Motorsport, also affiliated with FIA. All Affiliated clubs apply to CAMS for a permit to run an event whether it be a Motorkhana, Staight Line Sprint ,Hillclimb, Circuit Sprint, Road Trials, Mud Sprints, Observed Section Trials, Road Rallies, Rally Navigators, and Superkarts. The Competitors must have a CAMS Competition Licence which range from $70 to $500 and there are 22 different Licences. I think you get the picture that beauracarts are just around the corner and now CAMS are going to change there name to MOTOR SPORT AUSTRALIA on the 1st. January 2020. CAMS claim to have 27,000 active Licence holders, 11,000 Licenced Officials and 600 Affiliated Clubs n Australia.Don't forget the 'other' group 'licencing' Motor Sport in Australia - AASA who reduce costs compared to CAMS (MSA)
