Motorsport runs on passion – but it’s protected by people, training, and safety systems you don’t always see.

For over 40 years, we’ve helped make British motorsport safer.

Across every corner of the UK, motorsport brings people together through speed, skill and passion. But it also comes with real risk – and managing that risk takes more than determination alone.

The British Motorsport Trust funds the training, equipment and safety systems that protect competitors, volunteers and spectators at every event.

Because when people are protected, the sport can thrive.

We do this in three distinct ways.

training

We power the volunteer workforce.

Over 600 motor clubs and 11,000 volunteers keep motorsport running. We fund their training, development and progression – from first-time marshals to specialist rescue and medical roles.

Because without them, there is no sport.
