“The scholarship is such a great opportunity for disabled drivers that Motorsport UK are providing along with everyone else who contributes their time. I remain hugely grateful for the opportunity. I have continued my membership with the Maidstone and Mid-Kent Motor Club and now compete with my own adapted car that I am tuning up to improve on my times.”

“Being in a car is my favourite place to be, and behind the wheel on track is just the best fun ever – especially with a group of like-minded people who are even crazier than I am. It was great to be able to bring my son along and see him enjoying it too.”

Dominic Pearson

“The assessment day was great fun and the team at Motorsport UK are very friendly and welcoming. The opportunity to have a go on track and be encouraged to push the car to the limit was fantastic.”

“The assessment day was the most fun I’ve had on four wheels in a long time. It was great to be around like-minded people. Disability wasn’t a factor during the day, it was all about the driving. Talk about levelling the playing field. We’re all the same behind the wheel. I’m really excited about the scholarship and can’t wait to be involved in grass roots motorsport.”

Ian Dance

“Having only recently been forced into using a wheelchair going out and about has been daunting … From the moment I arrived, my anxiety lifted as everyone who I met, be it Motorsport UK staff, car club instructors, marshals and competitors were so friendly and supportive. The day was amazing, the weather was perfect. I had great fun learning a new form of motorsport which really is available to everyone. Grassroots motorsports really is the heart of motorsport & thank you Motorsport UK for putting your trust in me for this season.”
