Sport Pathways Under Review
Making it easier to get started in motorsport
Motorsport UK is reviewing how people enter and progress through our sport, ensuring the journey is clearer, more consistent and better aligned with how people want to get involved today. The Motorsport UK Sport Pathways Review forms part of our Vision 2030 commitment to get more people enjoying motorsport, more often. Historically the pathways into motorsport have grown organically and often independently from discipline to discipline. While this has created strong expertise and commitment across the country, the processes can also be complex or difficult to navigate – particularly for those new to the sport or returning after time away.
Motorsport UK is launching this project to strengthen the foundations of the sport, not dismantling them.

What is under review?
The Motorsport UK Sport Pathways Review will look at the customer journey into motorsport, considering how people take their first steps in our sport, and how they progress once beyond this. Its focus is on making the experience:
• Easier to understand
• More consistent nationwide
• Supportive, welcoming and confidence-building
• Better aligned with modern expectations
By taking a fresh look at how the pathways work, the aim is to remove unnecessary barriers and help turn interest in motorsport into long-term participation.
The review will focus on:
• Clearer, simpler information on how to get started
• More consistent standards and experiences, wherever someone begins their journey
• A more straightforward route to progressing further in the sport
• Stronger support for the schools, instructors, and assessors who deliver training and assessment
This is a multi-year project and while initial focus is on the Associations and schools above, this is the first in a line of initiatives to improve the pathways into and through the sport.
