Default definition of Driver & competitor

Hi guys,
pardon my ignorance, but within many motorsport entry forms and in particular the liability disclaimer, they refer to "the Competitor" and "The Driver". Can someone tell me what's the difference?
Thanks

Best place to find out is 'The CAMS manual'.

Driver and competitor? Driver is self explainatory the competitor would be co-driver in a rally, gymkharna or hill climb type of event. Some of the events I enter have entrant and driver the entrant is the owner or entity entering the vehicle and the driver is piloting the entered vehicle anyone else passengering in the vehicle to navigate or scream things like help me god or let me out is a competitor.

Competitor has replaced Entrant as a term, the competitor must own the vehicle (or be authorised by the owner to enter it). Eg I entered an event as a navigator, my mate owns the car so he is the competitor/entrant as well as the driver.

From the Cams manual (d/l it from the Cams website)

Competitor (previously referred to as “Entrant”)
A person or body who holds a competitor’s licence acceptable to CAMS and who has entered a competition.

Legal Owner
(i) Only the bona fide legal owner of an automobile shall be entitled to enter the automobile in any competition unless the Competitor at the time of entry produces the written consent of the bona fide legal owner to enter the automobile in the competition and who shall then for all purposes hold the status of the bona fide legal owner.
(ii) The competitor shall hold a valid competitor licence as described in “General Regulations of CAMS”.
(iii) In the case of the competitor being a company, it may by notice in writing authorise a person to enter the automobile in a competition on behalf of the company. In such case the company must be the holder of a competitor licence.
(iv) Any attempt to enter an automobile in any competition without a valid competitor licence shall be a breach of this NCR and the entry or attempted entry shall be void. In such case the entry fee shall be forfeited to the promoter of the competition.
