Girls on Track is branching out! Regional hubs are being developed to help girls aged 16-24 access motorsport opportunities on their doorsteps. By joining the Scottish Hub you’ll be able to join a community of like minded girls who stay within a few hours of you.

The Girls on Track programme is a joint initiative between the FIA and Motorsport UK to inspire and celebrate women in every aspect of motorsport. It aims to increase female participation in all aspects of the sport, whether as a competitor, volunteer or as a career choice.

Jon is our Regional Training Coordinator, and also our Communications and Publicity Manager.
 
He 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.

Jon 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.
