with the resumption of motorsport in Guernsey and England over the
Easter bank holiday weekend, new partners joining the Motorsport UK
Academy programme, dedicated webinars taking place to support clubs,

perspective on how motorsport is opening up to allow disabled drivers
to demonstrate their talent on equal terms, while Club Corner reveals
750 Motor Club’s new fixed-cost programme which hopes to attract
more competitors into the sport.
