Motorsport Australia will launch an educational series on insurance and risk management, designed to complement theMotorsport Australia National Insurance Handbook.

This initiative is designed to help members, clubs, promoters, and event organisers gain a deeper understanding of the critical role that comprehensive and specialised insurance coverage plays in motorsport, to further ensure they are fully equipped to manage risks and safeguard their involvement in motorsport activities.

The 2025 online series will explore insurance types, scope of coverage and tools for managing high-risk settings, along with best practice for building behaviours and cultures that support safe conduct at Motorsport Australia sanctioned activities.

Motorsport Australia CEO Sunil Vohra's vast experience in ASX-listed insurance companies informs a deep understanding of insurance, risk assessment and mitigation, combined with decades-long passion as a motorsport competitor provides great context for successful implementation.

“Helping make motorsport as safe as practicable is Motorsport Australia’s number one priority, regardless of the size or scale of the permitted event,” Vohra said.

“Education builds clarity, leading to an improved safety environment - an essential outcome for our sport.

“We know motorsport comes with a level of risk, and we should all be working proactively to manage those risks.

“Doing this well and continuing to improve can only be of benefit to our competitors, organisers, volunteer officials, and spectators alike.”

The 2024 Motorsport Australia National Insurance Handbook can be found online here and details of the 2025 Insurance & Risk Management Series will be available soon.
