This November, swap the grandstands for the start line and take on an unforgettable challenge at the home of British Motorsport.

From the 5K to the Half Marathon, and even the Junior Race, every mile you complete will help Mission Motorsport support wounded, injured and sick veterans, serving personnel and their families through recovery, rehabilitation and opportunities beyond military service.

We ask that all runners commit to raising a minimum of £250.

"I have never really looked at myself as a beneficiary but more of a volunteer."

Peter McNicol served 30 years in the RAF, rising to Flight Sergeant as an aircraft electrical technician. When he left in 2003, he found the pace of civilian life far too slow, and went self-employed as a marine engineer, sailing instructor and electrician instead.

Then came a track day at Snetterton, Norfolk, giving hot laps in his Mazda MX-5 and raising a few hundred pounds in donations for the charity along the way.

Not long after, he was invited to Goodwood, where he learned more about Mission Motorsport's work and decided to get properly involved. Early retirement gave him the time to start volunteering in 2012, not long after the charity was founded. Fourteen years later, he's still going.

This month we're celebrating a new partnership with UTAC, looking back at some fantastic community events including the Forces Family Track Day at Croft Circuit, and sharing plenty of opportunities to get involved over the coming months.

From Veterans' Karting and Banter, Brews & Cars to fundraising challenges, volunteering opportunities and upcoming events, there's something for everyone in the Mission Motorsport community.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our work with veterans, service leavers, wounded, injured and sick service personnel, and their families. We hope to see many of you at an event soon.

Banter, Brews & Cars: Race, Rally & Retro! Wednesday 23 September at Three Sisters Circuit, Wigan.

Passenger rides | Track action | Good company

Our fantastic volunteer drivers will be bringing a range of cars for you to experience from the passenger seat, with plenty of opportunities to get out on track. For many who attend, it’s about more than the cars. Motorsport can be a great way to support recovery, build confidence, reconnect with others and simply have a good day out. Whether you’re a regular at Mission Motorsport events or joining us for the first time, you’ll be made very welcome.

Free to attend for veterans, serving personnel and their families. Sign up here: https://bbc-racerally-retro.eventbrite.co.uk

We’d love to see you there!

We’re pleased to announce that UTAC has chosen Mission Motorsport as its charity of choice for 2026.

UTAC has been a major name in automotive testing and engineering for more than 100 years, with its UK operations based at Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire.

This partnership will provide valuable support for our fundraising work, helping us continue to support veterans, service leavers and their families through motorsport and the automotive industry.

We’re hugely grateful to the team at UTAC for their support and look forward to working together over the year ahead.

A huge thank you to CAT Driver Training for their fantastic support of Mission Motorsport!

Last week, CAT hosted a VIP Fundraiser Performance Driver Group Day, with UTAC Millbrook providing the circuit facilities and CAT generously donating the coaching, training, hosting and admin support. The day raised an amazing £5,040 for the charity.

Colin and Jo Hoad from CAT described the day as:

“An eclectic machinery mix that graced the UTAC Millbrook circuits: McLaren 570 GT, 720S Spider, Lotus Elise Series 2, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Jaguar F-Type and Aston Martin Vantage Roadster.”

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone at CAT, UTAC Millbrook and all six drivers who helped make the day such a success.

While the motorsport is a huge part of our Forces Family Track Day at Croft Circuit, the Families Village is just as important.

Around 30 local charities, organisations and small businesses joined us, representing the incredible community across the North East as well as an amazing car display. They brought a brilliant mix of activities, information and opportunities to the day from CPR training, target golf and family activities, to veteran breakfast groups, careers advice, support services, local businesses selling tasty sauces - some a bit spicy!!

The Families Village is about much more than adding to the fun of the day. It’s about connecting the Armed Forces community with the organisations and people there to support them locally, and helping people discover what’s available right on their doorstep.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, set up a stand and gave their time to be part of the day. You helped make it about so much more than what happened on the track. Comment on this post if you were there and if you would like to be added to the Families Village next year please email [email protected]
