“ Motorsport will always carry an element of risk,” says John Ryan, Motorsport UK’ s Sport and Safety Director,“ but managing that risk responsibly and learning from every experience is what makes our community strong.”
The dedicated Technical Team is also on hand to help – answering members’ queries and offering guidance across all disciplines, from karting to rally, hill climb to circuit racing. Whatever vehicle you drive, their expertise helps you prepare, participate, and compete with confidence.
Behind the scenes, stewards, clerks and scrutineers – all volunteers – play a vital role in keeping the sport running smoothly and safely. From club meetings to the British Grand Prix, Motorsport UK officials are part of a professional, dedicated network united by the same goal: to make sure every event is safe, fair and fun for everyone involved.
Safe, fair and respectful
Respect sits at the heart of Motorsport UK’ s values, on and off the track. The Race with Respect campaign is a core part of that culture, promoting positive behaviour, integrity and inclusion across every discipline. Whether you’ re competing, volunteering or spectating, Race with Respect reminds all of us to play a part in creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued.
To back that up, Motorsport UK’ s dedicated Safeguarding and Legal Team is always on hand to support members and clubs. From guidance and training to direct advice when issues arise, the team ensures that welfare, conduct and compliance are handled with care, professionalism and empathy.
Their work helps to protect participants of all ages and backgrounds, ensuring that motorsport remains a safe and enjoyable space for everyone – one where passion and respect go hand in hand.
Pathways and possibilities
For many, a Motorsport UK licence is the first step on a journey – whether competing for fun, developing new skills, or chasing dreams of professional competition.
Grassroots disciplines such as autoSOLOs, road rallying, trials, rallycross, hill climbs and junior rallying provide welcoming, affordable entry points for newcomers. The Motorsport UK Academy and Girls Karting Academy help nurture the next generation of talent, combining driving skills with fitness, mindset and media training to prepare young competitors for the future.
Supporting that growth is a dedicated Competitor Development Team, who work closely with drivers, coaches and teams to share best practice, develop performance, and guide rising talent through structured coaching pathways. Their support helps build confident, well-rounded athletes ready to succeed at every level of the sport.
It is not just about driving, either. Motorsport UK offers training pathways for Marshals, Scrutineers and Officials, helping volunteers gain recognised skills, confidence and progression. The Learning Hub provides free online modules, while seminars and workshops bring people together to learn, share experiences and connect.
As Volunteer Development Manager Sam Walker puts it:“ It’ s about more than just doing a role – it’ s about being part of something bigger. The friendships and sense of purpose that come from volunteering in motorsport are what keep people coming back year after year.”
