CEO ' s MESSAGE
Vision 2030
People are at the heart of our most significant announcement of the month: Vision 2030. You may have read about this in our Chair’ s Edition of Revolution last month, and hopefully some of you will have also watched our live YouTube broadcast. If not, it can be found on the website and there are further details elsewhere in this edition.
Vision 2030 sets out a clear and ambitious direction for British motorsport over the remainder of this decade. It recognises our achievements since 2018 in addressing many aspects of sustainability, inclusion, mutual respect, technology, safety and governance. It builds on this platform and firmly focuses on participation, with a clear unifying call to action:‘ Get more people enjoying motorsport, more often’. We need to retain more of our current participants, bring back those that have lapsed, and welcome a new cohort in to enjoy the amazing diversity of UK motorsport. This clarion call is equally applicable to volunteers and officials, clubs, venues and even the equipment and cars that we use.
This is a tremendously exciting direction, but a vision only matters if it becomes action. Our task is to translate the strategic plan into practical and lasting change and achieve our goal of getting more people enjoying motorsport, more often. That work is already underway, and you will see much more of it in the months ahead. Vision 2030 belongs to all of us and it will only succeed if we each play our part: powered by people.
As we look ahead to the future, we should recognise that this year will be the final one with David Richards CBE as our Chair. David has given extraordinary service, helping to transform our sport while retaining stability of leadership. He has championed grassroots competition, governance reform and long-term thinking, while placing greater emphasis on the promotion of our sport. On a personal level, I have valued his counsel, his candour, and his commitment to doing what is right rather than what is easy. There will be time later in the year to recognise his contribution more fully but as we begin this final season of his tenure, it feels appropriate to acknowledge the impact he has made.
David, of course, cut his teeth on Britain’ s rally stages, so it feels particularly fitting that in this issue we shine a spotlight on one of the standout events of 2025: the Roger Albert Clark Rally. The biggest stage rally in the country, it remains a true test of endurance, skill and organisation. If you’ ve yet to experience this inspiring event, I urge you to dive into the participant stories in these pages – and perhaps be encouraged to witness it for yourself.
Events like the Roger Albert Clark Rally are a powerful reminder of Britain’ s deep-rooted rallying heritage and the passion that continues to drive the sport forward. It is that same spirit which underpins our ongoing efforts to welcome the World Rally Championship back to our shores. While its long-awaited return is not yet confirmed, we are continuing to make positive progress in discussions with the many stakeholders involved in bringing such a landmark event to fruition.
