The transformation
Since 2018, both the world and our organisation have evolved in ways few could have predicted. Motorsport UK is now stronger, more complete and better led, with talented people working every day in the interests of our members and the sport.
One of the most important changes has been structural. Where once decision-making sat almost entirely with the Council of Members, today we have a more balanced and empowered governance model. The Council now plays the vital role of guiding and advising as the elders of our sport, while a more diverse and inclusive Board combines deep motorsport expertise with valuable external insight. That balance has helped drive clearer thinking, faster decision-making and better outcomes.
Just as importantly, it has helped reverse decline. Our community is no longer shrinking. Licensed competitors now number more than 64,000, supported by 11,000 licensed volunteers and officials. Digital licensing has played a key role in this growth, using modern technology to make participation simpler and more accessible – exactly as it should be.

Opening doors
Lowering barriers to entry has been central to our approach. Initiatives such as free RS Clubman and Indoor Karting licences, alongside the launch of StreetCar, have opened motorsport to people who may never have considered it before. In less than two years, StreetCar alone has introduced nearly 1,800 new grassroots competitors to our community.
