MOTORSPORT UK REVEALS RANGE OF DISCOUNTS
Competitors and volunteers to benefit in first major change since msa rebrand
Motorsport UK has revealed its first major change to help competitors and volunteers after its rebrand from the Motor Sports Association, announcing a range of discounts.
When the governing body was relaunchedn in November, chairman David Richards stated that “we are going to behave differently from now on”, and promised new benefits.
Motorsport UK’S new membership programme is part of its plan to offer incentives to people signing up to take part in motorsport.
Discounts on personal accident cover (JLT) and competition and road car insurance (Adrian Flux), and deals at Halfords, Protyre, DFDS Ferries, Grand Prix Racewear and outdoor retailer Ellis Brigham have been confirmed. All 2019 competition licence holders will be automatically enrolled in the programme.
“Perhaps in the past we have been guilty of not doing enough to put our licence holders front and centre of the organisation and taken for granted their annual licence renewals,” said Richards.
“This is the next logical step following our change in name and identity, helping ensure that we deliver on our promise and deliver tangible benefits to our customers.
“Additionally, I am delighted that we are able to extend this programme to all our volunteer marshals and officials as our way of saying thanks. Without them our competitors would not be able to enjoy the sport we are passionate about.” The move comes as the organisation aims to stimulate grassroots participation in motorport, with Richards and new chief executive officer Hugh Chambers wanting to focus more on customer service.
