Welcome to BritsOnPole.com

We run this site for fans of British drivers in all the major forms of motor racing worldwide. We’re here to cheer on the Brits and remember the legends across the world of motor sport.

When we founded the site, we focused entirely on open wheel racing and ran a full written news service. Eventually, that became too much for two people to manage so we were forced to put the site on hold.

All the old content remains as a news archive, but now we focus on racing and beyond – with suggestions for days out, books, driving experiences and merchandise to enhance your racing experience.
