This National Motorsport Week, it’s not just limited to time on track. There are a range of programmes offered by Motorsport UK to promote inclusion and involvement within Motorsport across the country.
Earlier this year, Motorsport UK launched its Inclusion Hub, bringing together complimentary organisations, within the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) space under Motorsport UK’s umbrella.
The Hub is initially for those aged 14-24, their guardians and teachers to support them in navigating opportunities within the motorsport industry available to them.

This initiative is part of the organisation’s ongoing commitment to inclusivity and diversity in motorsport, addressing underrepresentation and promoting STEAM education.
The Hub, a website created in collaboration with and commissioned by Mission 44, includes organisations such as Formula Student, Girls across the Grid, Greenpower, Racing Pride, the Student Motorsport Challenge and Motorsport UK’s Girls on Track UK and Race for Diversity initiatives.
Jessica Runicles, Head of Sustainability, Motorsport UK, comments, “Motorsport is increasingly becoming the career path of choice for young people. However, finding these opportunities and even understanding where to start, can be tricky, with information difficult to navigate.
“It is thanks to Mission 44, that we were able to collaborate and create a Hub that expands engagement, participation and seeks to strengthen these networks within our motorsport community, promoting diversity and inclusion and ensuring that young people have access to this information.”
