(EDIT) Bulletin 1 clarification
Dear Competitor Following the publication of Bulletin 1, a number of competitors have raised the question as to the requirement to present a FIVA passport at documentation. We have considered the situation and have taken advice. Below is an extra extract from FIVA’s rules and regulations and by presenting the relevant section this to you, will hopefully clarify the situation. As the Shamrock Vintage Challenge is being run under the auspices of FIVA it is our responsibility to encourage participants to obtain an identification card for their respective vehicles. However as the Shamrock Vintage Challenge is a national event rather than an International event, this requirement for an identity card is not mandatory.
Hopefully this helps clarify things.

FIVA Identity Card For International Events participating vehicles must have been issued with a FIVA Identity Card. For National Events Organisers should encourage entrants/crews to present FIVA Identity Cards for their vehicles
