The Race for Diversity volunteer Taster Day at Donington
Race for Diversity at Donnington
Race for Diversity, the Motorsport UK initiative which aims to increase the participation and engagement of young people from underrepresented backgrounds, held its first volunteer Taster Day for some of its community members at Donington Park Circuit last month.
Hosted by Motorsport UK Inclusion Ambassador Carol Glenn, the event gave attendees hands-on insight into key roles such as scrutineering, timekeeping, marshalling, media, and race control, during a live race weekend. Participants not only observed these roles in action but also had the chance to step onto the track and try marshalling themselves. They engaged directly with experienced volunteers, gaining valuable knowledge about the vital roles that keep motorsport running smoothly. The day highlighted the many pathways into the sport, and by providing practical experience and direct industry engagement, Race for Diversity continues its mission to make motorsport more inclusive.
