Prescott Hill Climb hosted eight members of the Girls on Track community

The weekend of 26-27th of April was a four-way split across multiple venues, as the Motrsport UK teams supported inclusion programmes at some very different motorsport events.

Prescott Hill Climb in Gloucestershire hosted eight members of the Girls on Track community as they learned about the different roles needed to make a motorsport event happen. The day began with a guided walk up the hill by the chief marshal, and detailed discussion around marshalling. Once the track had been completed, the team visited scrutineering and race control, to discover the responsibilities and opportunities that these provide, and finally they got to hear about the club roles from the management team at Prescott. The women also spoke to competitors, got a chance to sit in the cars, and discover how and what goes into delivering a Hill Climb event.

The BWRDC IntoSpeed programme was also at Prescott, with the new members visiting the Hill Climb venue to experience a competition day. This event brought together the group of enthusiastic women racers who had participated in track days and were meeting together in one location for the first time.

“ With the support of Motorsport UK, we are proud to have created this programme to take women through the sport from the very early stages to their first competition,” declared Helen Allen, Chair of the BWRDC.

The IntoSpeed initiative returns to Prescott in June, where they will have the opportunity to enter their first competitive event,

The trip was hosted by Motorsport UK Inclusion Ambassador Evelyn MacRitchie and has already sparked some interest in scrutineering.
