A programme aimed at getting women into motorsport will host an event in Shelsley Walsh next year.

The British Women Racing Drivers' Club (BWRDC) initiative, called IntoSpeed, is back for its second year.

It is focused on hillclimbing - a form of motorsport contested against the clock in a range of accessible road cars across the UK.

The programme aims to introduce women to motorsport by providing taster days, expert driver tuition, and the chance to compete in events.

No prior experience is needed, and it is open to women over the age of 18.

Attendees can use their own road cars and safety helmets are provided at the venues.

In the programme participants will learn the basics of motorsport, including timing and safety, before driving the hillclimb course.

The programme will also include driver training, simulator experience, and one-on-one tuition.

Helen Allen, chair of the BWRDC, said: "With the support of Motorsport UK we are proud to have created this programme to take women through the sport from the very early stages to their first competition.

"We are thrilled to continue this for 2025, and look forward to introducing more women to the hillclimbing discipline.

"Whether it’s taking part in our women-only taster days, with expert driver tuition from experienced instructors, SIM training, up to competing at events, we will guide you through."

The programme is supported by Motorsport UK.

The event in Shelsley Walsh will take place on Sunday, September 14.
