Not sure where to start? Start here!

Our Young Officials Taster Days are designed to give you a proper behind-the-scenes look at motorsport, without needing any previous experience or committing to a particular role.

You’ll meet the people who make events happen, see how things work up close and get the chance to find out whether there’s a role that suits you.

No experience. No pressure. Just come along and give it a go.

👥 Aged 18 to 35? You’re eligible.

The next taster day is:

📅 19 September
📍 Doune Hill Climb, FK16 6HG
🏎️ Speed

There are only 10 places available, so if you fancy seeing motorsport from the other side of the barrier, get your name down:

🏁 Circuit, Karting and Rally dates are coming soon too.

You don’t need to know anyone.
You don’t need to know all the rules.
You definitely don’t need to be an expert.

Just bring some enthusiasm and come see what it’s all about.

Jon went on his first rally at the age of 5 when his uncle was marshalling the Cropton Forest stage on the Lombard RAC Rally. That was in the days of Roger Clark and the all-conquering Escorts. The sounds and smells of rally cars have never lost their appeal. As an adult, working on an ambulance crew covering Cadwell Park in the mid 90s, he frequently encountered drivers who had come to an abrupt stop somewhat sooner than they had anticipated.

He is a licenced rescue team member and Motorsport UK Trainer and Rescue Trainer. He sits on Motorsport UK's Rescue and Recovery Sub Committee, as well as being a member of Motorsport UK's national training team for Safeguarding.

He is a STEM Ambassador, and a Scottish Regional and UK National Judge for F1 in Schools, a not-for-profit social enterprise aiming to change the perception of STEM-related subjects through global competition.
