An Iconic Electric Vehicle competitor

If you’re looking for inspiration to get your family involved in motorsport, look no further. Si Kellow, along with wife Andrea and their three children; Niamh, Drew and Ryan, are all avid motorsport enthusiasts. 

With so many disciplines on offer, it can be difficult knowing where to start, especially if you are looking to make it a family affair.   Enjoying grassroots motorsport around the UK is easier, and more affordable, than you might think. Motorsport UK’s StreetCar programme can help you, and the family, get involved – all you need to compete is your everyday road car.
