TOP-UP INSURANCE

Motorsport UK has announced the first recipients of its Inclusion Grant, awarding funding to four organisations helping to make motorsport more accessible – and enabling more people to enjoy the sport, more often.

Removing barriers to entry is central to Motorsport UK’ s ambition to grow and diversify its community, and the Inclusion Grant is a key part of that commitment, supporting projects that make participation more achievable for underrepresented groups.

With funding ranging from £ 100 to £ 10,000, the inaugural grant supports initiatives that deliver meaningful, lasting impact.

Each successful project demonstrated clear objectives, strong accountability, and alignment with Motorsport UK’ s inclusion priorities. Grants have been awarded to:

Motorsport UK has agreed a new Master Road Section Top- Up Insurance Policy, which will help ensure participants have access to the minimum thirdparty cover legally required for vehicles using the public highway.

The new policy ensures this cover will be available to all Motorsport UKpermitted events using the open public highway, whether as a whole or partially – for example the road section of a stage rally. The new arrangement has been developed in response to changes in the insurance landscape which has presented challenges to the availability and affordability of cover, and has been affecting grassroots motorsport events, including road rallying, as well as trials and multi-venue autotests.

This development represents an important step in ensuring the continued accessibility and long-term future of road rallying and other grassroots motorsport in the UK, while maintaining appropriate standards of safety and compliance.
