Fans across the nation can also experience the variety of disciplines within the sport by tuning into Motorsport UK TV. Throughout the year, Motorsport UK TV hosts hundreds of live broadcast streams, from drag racing and karting to sprints and circuit racing achieving millions of views. During the final weekend of National Motorsport Week, the platform will be Oxfordshire’ s Shenington Superprix and Prescott’ s Midland Hill Climb Championships to name but two, highlighting this spread of disciplines.
