Motorsport Australia sporting clubs in NSW will be eligible for a share of the Grassroots Sports Fund – designed to support grassroots clubs through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Clubs can apply for the grants this week, which can be used to cover fixed costs incurred between March and June 2020, such as IT support, electricity bills and banking fees.

Motorsport Australia CEO Eugene Arocca thanked the NSW Government for its support and encouraged clubs to apply, noting only those with Motorsport Australia sporting affiliation are eligible.

“We are sincerely grateful to the NSW Office of Sport and the NSW Government for their ongoing support of motorsport and are pleased our affiliated clubs can receive a funding boost during what is a very difficult time,” Arocca said.

“As Motorsport Australia is the only government recognised sanctioning body in all states around the country, this funding opportunity - and many others like it - are only available to our affiliated clubs. These opportunities further emphasise the benefits of affiliation with Motorsport Australia.

“We are passionate about seeing grassroots motorsport thrive around Australia and although there have been some difficult times in 2020 for motorsport, grassroots is certainly leading the way in our COVID-19 recovery, with events taking place safely around the country every week.

“I encourage all NSW sporting clubs to apply and reach out to us if they have any questions about how these grants can be used to help their club and loyal members.”
