Racing Pride

Ambassadors are at the heart of Racing Pride, providing visible, positive, international representation across disciplines and roles within motorsport and associated industries. Ambassadors often have significant personal platforms as well as professional experience and deep ongoing involvement within the sport and/or broader industry. Our engagement with our partners and with the media is all built on the direct lived experiences of our ambassadors.

Community Champions are representatives from among our Racing Pride Member Community who are involved within the wide motorsport and automotive landscape, whether professionally or not. Having a group of Community Champions helps to ensure that Racing Pride remains embedded within motorsport at all levels from grassroots to Grand Prix and is able to reflect, highlight, and celebrate a diverse array of talented LGBTQ+ individuals.

Our line-up of Ambassadors and Community Champions is selected by Racing Pride’s board of Directors and is reviewed annually. You can find some information about our current Ambassadors and Community Champions below.
