Keeping it in the Family

As the 2024 StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship comes to a close, we look back on what was a successful season for Dominic Pearson. Dominic has always been interested in motorsport, however it wasn’t until he attended the StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship assessment day in 2024 that he had the chance to get behind the wheel.

StreetCar was created with the intention to showcase the accessible routes into motorsport for all. It is therefore fitting that for this month’s Club Together, we highlight Loughborough Car Club and their efforts to make motorsport more accessible.

Following a record attendance for 2024, the StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship is back for 2025, introducing accessible motorsport opportunities to disabled drivers across the UK.

Motorsport UK’s StreetCar programme can help you, and the family, get involved – all you need to compete is your everyday road car.
