StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship Back on Track

A scheme to introduce accessible motorsport opportunities to disabled drivers across the UK is back for 2025.

The StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship, created by Motorsport UK in partnership with Loughborough Car Club and the FIA Sport Grant Programme, will take place at:

·       Maidstone and Mid Kent Motor Club, April 19 (Ashford Cattle Market)

·       Sporting Car Club Norfolk, April 27 (Lotus)

·       Loughborough Car Club, May 23 (Coalville Rugby Club)

The most promising drivers will be offered an opportunity to win a fully funded season of AutoSOLOs and access to an adapted car at the three StreetCar affiliated clubs.

The vehicles feature flexible adaptations, including hand operated accelerator and brakes, a choice of accelerator positions, additional upper back support and a choice of steering wheels to enable participants to enjoy the thrill of car control within a regulated environment.  

“Our StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship returns in a format that not only engages with our clubs who are able to provide access to an adapted vehicle but also opens up this opportunity to even more disabled participants across the UK,” said Claire Kirkpatrick, Director of Club and Volunteer Development.

“We hope to welcome even more drivers into grassroots motorsport through the opportunity that this scholarship offers.”
