For over four decades we have been making four-wheeled British motorsport safer for our community across England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.

Motorsport has the power to inspire thousands across the UK with high-speed and high-performance thrills, each and every week. There is also an inherent risk associated with this kind of action. Our vision is to create a safer sport, empowering our people to perform at the highest level and providing them with the equipment and tools to succeed. We will do everything we can to make motorsport events held by clubs and affiliated organisations as safe as possible for competitors, officials and spectators.

We do this in three distinct ways.

training

We provide industry-leading training programmes using the network of Motorsport UK licenced training instructors through our TRAINING DAY PROGRAMME.

These are tailored to specific risk areas that are uniquely placed within the world of motorsport. These programmes play an integral part in ensuring marshals know precisely what course of action to take when presented with a safety challenge at an event.
