  1. spotted on the DVLA website:

    1. No requirement to renew a Statutory Off Road
    Notification (SORN) on an annual basis
    Subject to law change, from 16 December 2013 DVLA will remove
    the requirement for customers to renew a SORN on an annual basis.
    This means that a SORN will remain in force until a vehicle is either
    taxed, sold or scrapped. Once a vehicle keeper has notified DVLA
    that their vehicle is SORN’d, they will no longer have the burden of
    annual SORN renewals.

    2. Evidence of insurance no longer required when
    taxing a vehicle
    Subject to law change, from 16 December 2013 motor
    insurance policies will no longer be checked at the point when
    a vehicle is taxed. This change simplifies the taxing process for
    millions of motorists. Motorists will not need to provide motor
    insurance policy evidence when they:
    • tax online or by phone
    • register and tax through a motor dealer
    • tax at a Post Office®️ branch
    • register and tax through the post to DVLA.
    Motorists will still need to ensure they have a valid insurance
    policy, but this will not be checked when a vehicle is taxed.
    This change will not apply to motorists in Northern Ireland.
    They will still need to produce evidence of a valid insurance
    policy when a vehicle is taxed.

    PRESS RELEASE
    NEW OPERATORS FOR MALLORY PARK

    Mallory Park, the popular Leicestershire motor racing circuit, has new operators.
    Stuart Hicken and Eddie Roberts, both well known in the motorcycle racing world, have formed a jointly-owned company - Real Motorsport Limited - to run the circuit on a day-to-day basis.

    They commented: "This is a great day for us both. We have grown up with Mallory Park, firstly as spectators, then as competitors and now running businesses associated with the sport".
    Eddie owns Complog, a leading worldwide retailer of motorcycle tyres which also supplies the British Superbike Series. He enjoyed a 20-year racing career, which saw him compete in many events, including Grands Prix and the Isle of Man TT.

    Stuart is owner of the Buildbase BMW Motorrad UK British Superbike Team. He started racing in the late 1960s, then managed successful racing teams for others, before setting up his own Hawk Racing squad. Stuart's career also included several years at Mallory Park.

    The previous operating company went into administration, after a series of problems associated with the contravening of agreed noise regulations.

    Both men commented: "We realise that there is a lot of bridge building to be done with the local community, but Mallory Park has been here for a long time and we are hopeful that - with understanding all round - it will have a long and successful future. We would like to thank circuit owner Chris Meek for giving us the opportunity of re-establishing Mallory Park and also Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council for advice regarding noise issues and the community".

    The pair will now start a programme of works to get the circuit into shape for the forthcoming season and plan to stage their first race meeting in the spring, together with a programme of practice and track hire days.
