Motorsports Event; Application for a Permit

A motorsports event that is not to take place exclusively on public roadways requires a safety permit from the district offices, independent cities, or major district cities.

Permission must be denied if it appears necessary to prevent danger to life, health, or property, or to protect the general public or the neighborhood from significant disadvantages or significant nuisances, or to prevent significant damage to nature or the landscape. The same applies if other provisions of public law preclude it.

To protect these legal interests, the district offices, independent cities, or major district cities may issue orders on a case-by-case basis.

For motorsports events that are to take place exclusively or partially on public traffic areas, only a permit under traffic law from the competent road traffic authority is required, or such a permit is required in addition.

An “organizer,” in this context, is any person who, through organization and management or in any other significant way, creates the conditions necessary for the event to be held and carried out. In addition to identifying the organizer, the application must in all cases include information regarding the nature, location, and time of the event, as well as the number of participants to be admitted.

None; however, it is advisable to submit the application for a permit as early as possible.

“The complete application for a permit must be submitted to the competent authority in sufficient time to allow it an adequate period to review the eligibility for approval.”
