Ollie commented, “The Motorsport Games brings so many disciplines together in one place and to work as a team to collect medals makes it all the more exciting. Also, this year having my brother competing in the Historic section makes it even more special, making it a family event!” 

Older brother Ben will compete in his rare 1979 Toyota Celica RA40, buoyed on by recent wins at the Rallye Vosges Grande and Goodwood Festival of Speed. 

He adds, “I’m looking forward to competing in the Motorsport Games and representing Team UK alongside my brother and showcase our family name together.”

Ernie Graham commented, “I’m looking forward to competing in the Motorsport Games and representing Team UK because it will allow me to represent my country and be part of a prestigious event with leading competitors from around the world. I’m excited to have the opportunity to push my limits, make my country proud, and experience the thrill of international competition.” 

About FIA Motorsport Games  

The FIA Motorsport Games is a unique multidisciplinary event that sees drivers competing in the colours of their national flag. Organised by SRO Motorsports Group in partnership with the FIA, six disciplines formed the schedule at the inaugural 2019 event, with 49 countries and territories represented in GT, Touring Car, Formula 4, Drifting, Karting Slalom and Digital competitions.  

The second edition in 2022 saw all six disciplines return, alongside an influx of 11 new disciplines. James Baldwin claimed Team UK’s first ever gold medal in 2022, winning the Esports category whilst Ian Loggie and Sam Neary secured bronze in the GT. British drivers put in stellar performances across all competing categories and were unlucky to miss out on further medals.  

Motorsport UK – one of over 70 ASNs to field a team in the FIA’s global celebration of the sport – ended the four-day competition with their first medals, in Esports and GT respectively, placing Team UK fifth in the final medal table.
