VMC License

VARAC issues a VMC license to qualified competitors under the auspices of the Vintage Motorsports Council. Please note that the VMC license is only valid for VARAC events—it cannot be used on VARAC grids at regional races, which require a full CASC-OR or equivalent racing license. To compete in VARAC-exclusive events like the Vintage Grand Prix, qualified members may apply for a Vintage Motorsport Council (VMC) license for $25 per year.
