“Motorsport is a unique platform for inclusivity, and our priority is to ensure that every competitor feels supported,” said MSA CEO Vic Maharaj. “These upgrades underscore our commitment to safety for all members of our racing community, especially those with specific needs, empowering disabled competitors to pursue their passion with confidence.
