CEO ' s MESSAGE that is coupled together with a vehicle approaching three tonnes, it is the antithesis of Colin Chapman’ s formula for automotive enjoyment. This combination of functionality and performance is one that I certainly welcome, and hopefully it will help us encourage a new community of EV enthusiasts into our competition world.

Talking of our volunteer community, and the thousands of people that collaborate in putting on events, I would draw your attention to a new initiative for Event Officials to register with Motorsport UK. The benefits of registering are to gain access to training, receive updates from us, and to have recognition of the role that they do for our sport, and to be equipped with a digital card. I think formally recognising this community is so important as they are pivotal in the creation of thousands of events each year and should receive the recognition they so richly deserve. Registrations will go live next week on Sport 80.
On a final note, I’ d like to thank Christopher Tate for taking over as Chair of Motor Sports Council, following the retirement of Tom Purves who did such a fantastic job. The first Council meeting of the year was held last month and engendered great debate from a wide variety of members of our community. For it is Motor Sports Council that holds that crucial role of highlighting issues from the community and identifying opportunities for how the sport can evolve and meet new challenges.
With the long-range forecast predicting warm and sunny weather over the next few weeks, it is a great backdrop for the busiest month of our competition year, and I hope that everybody competing, organising and supporting events has a safe and enjoyable month ahead.
Best regards, Hugh Chambers CEO, Motorsport UK
Volunteer registrations will go live next week on Sport 80
