finance your motorsport activity

understanding motorsport

Motorsport is unlike any other industry. It’s fast paced, operates across multiple sectors and often comes with complex commercial and financial challenges that require more than a standard lending solution. 

Finance Motorsport, a division of Classic and Sports Finance, was created specifically to understand these obstacles and to find creative, competitive and innovative finance solutions that work in the real world. 

From race cars to specialist equipment, hospitality, transportation and motorhomes, we understand that every part of the motorsport ecosystem can require a different approach to funding. 

We work with individuals and businesses across the industry, providing access to a diverse range of funding solutions designed specifically around your circumstances and team set up. 

Our team brings real world knowledge and experience, with people who understand the demands of the paddock and the way the industry operates. 

We know that motorsport doesn't always fit neatly into conventional lending models. Seasonal income, specialist assets, unusual ownership structures, rapidly changing opportunities, and the need to move quickly can all create challenges. Competitive interest rates and lending structures are crucial.

Historic cars require a specialist approach to finance, with their value and suitability often determined by factors far beyond the underlying vehicle itself. Provenance, originality, chassis history, period specification, race pedigree, restoration quality, historic racing eligibility and current market value can all play an important role in assessing a historic car. We provide finance solutions for a range of historic cars, drawing on an understanding of the specialist nature of these assets and the factors that underpin their value. We can structure funding around the asset and your individual requirements.

For professional drivers and teams, simulators can be great tools for preparation and driver development. A professional race car simulator is a serious investment. Whether you're a racing driver looking to improve your skills, a motorsport enthusiast building the ultimate home setup, or a team working on driver development, we understand that investing in a high quality simulator can represent a significant upfront cost. That's why we can provide flexible finance options, helping you spread the cost of your simulator and get your setup on track sooner.
