StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship to run at three locations for 2025 Following a record attendance for 2024, the StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship is back for 2025, introducing accessible motorsport opportunities to disabled drivers across the UK.
Created by Motorsport UK in partnership with Loughborough Car Club, which has been running the scholarship since 2010, the scholarship aims to make the sport more accessible for disabled participants, drawing on the success of the StreetCar initiative – celebrating grassroots motorsport opportunities for all.
To open this opportunity to even more disabled drivers, this year the StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship will take place at three StreetCar affiliated clubs across three different dates and locations:
• 19th April Maidstone and Mid Kent Motor Club, Ashford Cattle Market
• 27th April Sporting Car Club Norfolk, Lotus Centre, Hethel
• 23rd May Loughborough Car Club, Coalville Rugby Club
The most promising drivers will be offered an opportunity to win a fully funded season of AutoSOLOs and access to an adapted car at either Maidstone and Mid Kent Car Club, the Sporting Car Club of Norfolk or Loughborough Car Club.
The vehicles feature flexible adaptations, including hand operated accelerator and brakes, a choice of accelerator positions, additional upper back support and a choice of steering wheels to enable participants to enjoy the thrill of car control within a regulated environment.
“ Our StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship returns in a format that engages with our clubs who are able to provide access to an adapted vehicle and opens up this opportunity to even more disabled participants across the UK”, said Claire Kirkpatrick, Director of Club and Volunteer Development.“ We hope to welcome even more drivers into grassroots motorsport through the opportunity that this scholarship offers.”

Updated Regulations for Truck Racing
The British Truck Racing Championship has confirmed several changes to the technical regulations for the new season.
For 2025 there will be three different air restrictors in three different sizes – 63mm, 65mm and 67mm. These restrictors will be fitted to the turbocharger inlet on the top three trucks in Division 1, based on the success of the individual participants. At the Brands Hatch season-opener, the top three finishes from the 2024 season( Ryan Smith, David Jenkins and Steven Powell) will be required to have these restrictors fitted to their machine.
First place will be issued the 63mm restrictor, second place the 65mm restrictor and third place the 67mm restrictor.
Following the opening round of the season, those leaving Brands Hatch in the top three positions will then be required to fit the relevant air restrictor for the next round at Pembrey. This process will continue throughout the season.
Additionally, the castor angle of the steering axle on all Division 1 trucks will be limited to a maximum of 30 degrees, with positive camber being allowed up to a maximum of three degrees.
