We are proud to represent the interests of Motorsport in the UK, a nation inspired by the past, present and future of a sport that thrives on our world-leading expertise in technology, our competitive spirit and our deep community roots.
Our mission is to celebrate and enable participation in motorsport in a safe, fair, fun, inclusive and progressive environment. All individuals, from the grassroots to the professional elite, should have the opportunity to realise their potential.
We are committed to using our reach and influence effectively, ensuring that in the course of our core role we are also making a positive contribution to wider society. We strive not only to engage in the conversation around equality, diversity and inclusion – and other global concerns including the environment and well-being – but to make a difference through meaningful action. Positive steps have already been taken with our programmes supporting women in motorsport and disability and accessibility, and in addressing the affordability of participation, particularly at the entry level.
We commend, and are aligned with, the initiatives of the world governing body, the FIA, and those of our fellow National Governing Bodies, with regard to the higher purpose sport must serve.
We are continually creating and implementing plans that will ensure motorsport can become one of the most inclusive sports in the UK, administered by a proactive network of clubs and organisations, and led by a contemporary governing body.

• Developing our understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion as it applies to our organisation and sphere of influence
• Regular reviews of our policies, procedures and practices and alignment with best practice
• Recruiting and retaining talent at all levels of the organisation to reflect our committed approach to equality and diversity
• Frequent monitoring of the equality profile of motorsport in the UK
• Eliminating the barriers for underrepresented groups in motorsport
• Providing information and learning opportunities for clubs, coaches, officials and members to help them address inequality and discrimination in motorsport
