The future of motorsport is changing. From fully-electric championships to sustainable fuels and alternative propulsion, these new technologies will safeguard the future of our sport, with Motorsport UK embracing these alternatives as part of a blended approach to innovation.

Our Electric Weekend on 26-27 July will celebrate two very different disciplines, with both showcasing electric motorsport from grassroots level upwards.

EcoRally Scotland will see teams of two (driver and navigator) and their EV, tackle a road route across the Tayside. Teams will need to record all check points within the given times and complete ‘regularity tests’ checking average speed along the route – precision navigating, problem solving and teamwork will be the order of the day.

Through Motorsport UK’s StreetCar programme, there’s still the chance for EV or Hybrid drivers to take part and join the nationwide British StreetCar EcoRally, through a series of five 12 car format events across the UK. The winner of each round will gain £100 off their entry to the EcoRally event.

Fancy your chances? You can compete at:

Oxford Motor Club (leaving from Bicester Motion) – 9 May

North Wales Car Club – 30 May

Ilkley & District Motor Club – 14 June

Motorsport IOM – 28 June

The all-electric Formula E has showcased electrification since its inception in 2014 and London’s ExCel plays host to the World Championship climax again in 2025.  The bespoke indoor/outdoor circuit, a world first in international motorsport, will see competitors take part in two 45-minute, plus-one-lap races, with drivers reaching speeds of up to 200mph.

Ian Smith, Technical Director, Motorsport UK, comments, “The future of motorsport is evolving and so too are opportunities to engage in and enjoy a wide range of disciplines with vehicles that utilise a range of propulsion methods. Our Electric Weekend celebrates two of these diverse disciplines: Regularity Rallying (ecoRally Scotland) and Circuit Racing (Formula E), which showcase how Electric and Hybrid vehicles can form part of an innovative, blended approach to safeguarding the future of motorsport across the UK.”
