Talent needs opportunity. That's where StarterMotor comes in. At just 18, Jess Croome is already building a career as a freelance photographer, capturing the people, cars and passion that make the classic and historic vehicle world so special. Through StarterMotor, Jess has been introduced to key industry contacts and given opportunities to photograph major events, including the Bicester Motion Scramble and the BRDC Classic. Her ambition is to find fulltime work in the motor sport world and ideally be part of the F1 scene. Jess isn’t alone in benefitting from the charity’s insights and connections. We've now facilitated more than 93 days of work experience, helping young people take practical steps towards their futures in the industry. Could you help us open the next door?

It's almost October, which can only mean one thing... Bicester Motion Scramble is just around the corner 👀 This year, we're bringing something a little different. In partnership with Gen-MX, the youth division of the MX-5 Owners Club, we'll be hosting a special display of MX-5s, with many owned by enthusiasts under 30. A showcase of the next generation keeping one of the world's most-loved sports cars on the road. We'll also be launching our inaugural Golden Ticket Concours. Positioned in a prime event location, our young StarterMotor Ambassadors will select 60 cars to take part before choosing their top three favourites on the day, with prizes and serious bragging rights up for grabs. But this is a concours with a difference. Forget badges, rarity, market value or flawless paintwork. Our Ambassadors will be looking for character, charm and personality. The cars that make people smile, spark conversations and tell a story. We met some fantastic people at last year's Scramble (Jay Kay, if you're reading this, please come and say hello again, we miss you). Will we see you there? 📧 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eCVBR9pn 📱 Follow us on socials: @StarterMotorCharity

"It's absolutely brilliant what StarterMotor are doing, opening opportunities for younger people to get involved." – Alex Brundle When one of British motorsport's most respected voices backs your mission, people take notice. We caught up with Alex Brundle at the BRDC Classic, where StarterMotor invited 20 young enthusiasts to experience classic motorsport firsthand. We were also able to orchestrate five work experience placements, a truly special opportunity at one of the world's most historic racing circuits. One question kept coming up throughout the weekend: what does the future of our sector look like? The answer was all around us. Young mechanics working within experienced teams, aspiring motorsport professionals able to witness race conditions firsthand, and talented photographers and media specialists capturing every moment. Their energy, ambition and enthusiasm added to the paddock’s intoxicating atmosphere and demonstrated the incredible potential of the next generation. Together with our partners, supporters and volunteers, we're helping to secure the future of the classic and historic vehicle community, one young person at a time. If you believe the future of our industry matters, please join us on the journey. 📧 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eCVBR9pn 📱 Follow us on socials: @StarterMotorCharity #StarterMotor #FutureTalent #ClassicCars #HistoricVehicles #Motorsport #Skills #Careers #Automotive #SocialImpact #STEM

We believe the next generation deserves meaningful futures in the world of historic and classic vehicles. Too many young people face barriers to entering the sector, often because they simply aren't aware of the wide range of careers available. That's why StarterMotor exists: to open doors, create opportunities, and provide experiences that build confidence, skills and industry connections. The recent BRDC Classic at Silverstone was a perfect example of how we can deliver for the ‘young sparks’ we identify and mentor. 20 young enthusiasts joined us for the weekend, with five work experience placements facilitated across a variety of roles. From event operations and media support to main stage presenting, participants were given opportunities that rarely present themselves at such an early stage in their career planning The impact was immediate. New connections were made, confidence grew, and young people were able to see first-hand the exciting future on offer within the historic and classic vehicle sector. But this is just the beginning. If you, your business, or your car club would like to support our mission by offering opportunities, placements, mentoring, or event experiences, we'd love to hear from you. 📧 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eCVBR9pn 📱 Follow us on socials: @StarterMotorCharity
