Motorsport UK is extending its deadline for entries to the 2021 Motorsport Games after competitors asked for more time to prepare their entry now that motorsport has begun to resume following the lifting of lockdown in some parts of the UK.

Set to take place at France’s Circuit Paul Ricard on 29–31 October 2021, the international competition will see motorsport competitors from all over the world compete in 18 disciplines, with the hope of collecting gold medals for their nation.

Six disciplines formed the programme at the inaugural 2019 event, with 49 countries and territories represented in GT, Touring Car, Formula 4, Drifting, Karting Slalom and Digital competitions. All six disciplines will return for 2021 together with an additional 12 new disciplines, comprising of:

• Auto Slalom (Autotesting) 
• Crosscar Jr 
• Crosscar Sr 
• Endurance Racing *TBC 
• GT Sprint 
• Historic Rally 
• Historic Regularity Rally 
• Karting Endurance 
• Karting Sprint Jr (OKJ)

Alongside the new events, the second edition of the FIA Motorsport Games will also see another 50 countries and territories enter the competition, as the Games is set to celebrate grassroots disciplines. The new competitions in Auto Slalom (Autotesting), Crosscar (Autocross) and Karting Endurance offer the chance for grassroots competitors to compete and represent their country on the world stage.
