What do we do

Schools and college recruitment: StarterMotor works with secondary schools and Further Education institutions to expose career opportunities in the classic and historic car sector.  They aim to identify young people who have a deep interest in the ‘old car’ world through a process of engagement that enables them to clearly express their interests and ambitions.

Ambassador programme: The Charity is supported by a group of Ambassadors, young volunteers who mirror the Generation-Z cohort. They provide their time to represent and promote StarterMotor and are rewarded by having access to the Charity’s vehicle fleet and attending a range of events and shows that populate the sector’s annual calendar.

Vehicle fleet: They run a small fleet of classic and historic vehicles that are available to our Ambassadors to drive or experience on and off public roads.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Inclusion Hub, developed by Motorsport UK and Mission 44, simplifies access to motorsport opportunities for young people, educators, and underrepresented groups. It offers clear pathways into the sport through volunteering, education, career resources, and community-building opportunities.

The Inclusion Hub is available to anyone looking to find opportunities in motorsport. However, the platform is aimed at young people that are interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM).

The Inclusion Hub will help Motorsport UK and its partners deliver on their mission to make motorsport more inclusive, diverse, and accessible. By providing a comprehensive digital hub, we can ensure that young people, regardless of background, have the tools and opportunities they need to thrive in motorsport.

Use the platform’s search and filter tools to explore opportunities based on location, interest, or type (e.g., clubs, volunteering, jobs, or education programmes).

The platform highlights job boards, career guides, webinars, tips, and scholarships. You can also connect with industry leaders and organisations to build your network. Additionally, the platform features extracurricular programmes that can help you build valuable skills and enhance your CV—qualities that employers in the motorsport industry highly value. These programmes include volunteering, club participation, and hands-on experience through STEM-related initiatives, all designed to give you a competitive edge in your career development.

The hub is regularly updated with new opportunities, resources, and success stories to ensure users have the latest information available.
