Sustainable Fuel
Advanced Sustainable Fuels are now permitted for use in the Morgan Challenge Race Series!
Motorsport UK have approved a Technical Regulation amendment to add advanced sustainable fuels (acc. to FIA Appendix J) as an alternative option to regular pump fuel, see bulletin 02 on the regs page.
Morgan racers can champion the charge towards a greener, more sustainable future for motorsport. It is encouraged you share your experiences with others, showcasing how the Morgan Challenge is embracing and actively taking on the challenges presented by fossil fuels. The addition of advanced sustainable fuels to our technical regulations brings with it a multitude of benefits. Not only do these fuels reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimise environmental impact, but they also promote cleaner air quality and contribute to the preservation of our planet for future racing generations. Together, we can lead the way in driving positive change, one race at a time. Let's fuel our future, sustainably!

New Chairman for Morgan Race Committee
At the last Drivers' meeting Keith Ahlers announced his intention to stand down as chair of the Morgan Race Committee. Keith was elected to the post in 2009 and after ten years in office intends to stand down and let a new pair of hands take the steering wheel.
We are delighted to announce that Philip St. Clair Tisdall has volunteered and will be taking over as Chair. For the 2019 season Philip will act as Deputy Chair shadowing Keith and will assume full responsibility as Chair at the next Drivers' meeting in November 2019.
Philip is a long standing Morgan Challenge racer and also has experience of racing in other categories in the U.K. and in greater Europe too which makes him a perfect candidate for the job.
Keith says: “Philip is well respected in the paddock. I can't think of a better person to take over.”
