Israel: New Sports Driving Regulations

 

Israel has published New Sports Driving Regulations: (Provisions Regarding Importing Competition Vehicles and Spare Parts) (Amendment No ….), 5785-2025.

The Ministry of Culture and Sport announced a new draft amendment to the Sports Driving Regulations (Provisions Regarding Importing Competition Vehicles and Spare Parts).

As part of the Sports Driving Authority’s activities, the import sector has gained an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Israeli motorsports sector. Therefore, adjustments and corrections must reflect the current reality.

This proposed amendment includes the following:

• Determines the method of applying to the Authority that grants a license, not a permit;
• Determines the conditions under which the competent Authority will grant permission for the personal import of a competitive vehicle and its spare parts;
• Determines the conditions for obtaining a commercial importer license for competitive vehicles and its spare parts;
• The addition of Regulation 14 (a)(7) clarifies and refines the end of Section 14 (a)(5), where there is concern that the competitive vehicle or spare parts are not intended for use in motorsports, which constitutes an activity contrary to the law.
