National Motorsport Week, a week dedicated to celebrating motorsport, is to take place from 11 to 21 July. The campaign is designed to bring together the entire motorsport community in the UK, providing a platform to celebrate and promote all forms of the sport and the individuals who contribute to its vibrant ecosystem.

To set the scene, Motorsport UK will host a club webinar on Tuesday 4 June at 7pm.  The webinar will be led by Daniel Smith, Director of Marketing and Communications and Claire Kirkpatrick, Head of Club & Community Development and will provide detailed information about the campaign and offer guidance on how clubs can actively support it and participate. We would encourage every club to join the webinar – you can register here: Webinar Registration – Zoom

Motorsport UK will also be delivering a targeted media campaign, which will be complemented by a variety of digital, social media, and physical assets. These resources will be available to Motorsport UK Clubs, helping them to brand their existing events, organise taster sessions, and promote their activities across social media and to local media and community groups. 

In Scotland, we plan to extend the celebration beyond individual events to highlight Member Clubs and individuals participating in motorsport across the UK and beyond. More details will follow towards the end of June.
