Racing Pride has announced a number of Driver Ambassadors from across a range of motorsport disciplines to improve the visibility of LGBT+ people in the industry and to increase inclusivity amongst racing fans and organisers.[5]

Those drivers who have already been announced as Racing Pride Ambassadors include Richard Morris,[6] Charlie Martin,[7][8][9] Sarah Moore[10] [11]and Abbie Eaton.[12]

The organisation has also gone on to partner with a number of motorsport organisations, such as the British Automobile Racing Club,[13] the British Racing and Sports Car Club, Formula Student[14] and Team Parker Racing.
