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.

Created by Motorsport UK in partnership with Loughborough Car Club and the FIA Sport Grant Programme, the scholarship aims to make the sport more accessible for disabled participants, drawing on the success of the StreetCar initiative – celebrating grassroots motorsport opportunities for all.

To open up this opportunity to even more disabled drivers, this year the StreetCar Disabled Driver Scholarship will take place at three StreetCar affiliated clubs across three different dates:

• Maidstone and Mid Kent Motor Club, 19 April (Ashford Cattle Market)
• Sporting Car Club Norfolk, 27 April (Lotus)
• Loughborough Car Club, 23 May (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 either Maidstone and Mid Kent Car Club, the Sporting Car Club of Norfolk or Loughborough Car Club.

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.

Claire Kirkpatrick, Director of Club and Volunteer Development, comments, “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. We hope to welcome even more drivers into grassroots motorsport through the opportunity that this scholarship offers.”
