13 Jul National Motorsport Week has Arrived: 9-19 July
National Motorsport Week has arrived, and we’re celebrating everything that makes our sport so special.
The motorsport world converges on the UK every July, with this year’s British Grand Prix hosting a record 565,000 fans across the weekend, followed by a sell-out Goodwood Festival of Speed showcasing the great and the good of the sport.
A recent survey showed that less than half of the 26.2 million of Britons that see themselves as a motorsport fan are aware that they can get involved in the sport. While football pitches and tennis courts are booked by followers of the Men’s Football World Cup and Wimbledon Tennis during or after the event, it is equally as easy to find and fund a competitive motorsport activity.
National Motorsport Week aims to show that there is a motorsport for everyone, whether competing or volunteering. Many clubs are holding taster events this week and a new Motorsport UK guide shows that it is much easier to take part than you might think, with many accessible disciplines suited to all levels of experience.
There are 14 different motorsport disciplines, split into five groups and covering all budgets and abilities, many open to a wide range of ages. The guide takes you through every one of these, with easy-to-follow instructions on what’s needed and the costs involved – in many cases highly affordable.
