The Royal Air Force Motor Sports Association (RAFMSA) is the officially recognised sports body of the Royal Air Force (RAF) that encourages participation in motor sports. As well as running its own competitions and championships, its members variously compete and officiate in other motor sports events at local, national, and international level.[1]
Full Membership of RAFMSA is only open to serving RAF personnel; whilst RAFMSA Associate Membership is available to dependents of serving personnel, former personnel, and those having an association or working with the RAF. The supported 4-wheel disciplines include sprinting/time-trials, circuit racing, rallying, and karting; whilst the 2-wheel disciplines include road racing, trials, enduro, and motocross.
The RAFMSA is affiliated to both Motorsport UK (MSA) and the Auto-Cycle Union (ACU).

The British GP circuit delivered a win in the handicap division for the Royal Air Force Motorsports for the first time since 2011. Flight Sergeant Chris Slator, a constant down the years, played a key role in his faithful Peugeot 306 GTi. The RAFMSA team's mix of youth and experience helped it stay out of trouble. It advanced in the closing stages, then stormed ahead in the last hour of a dry race barely interrupted by a brief late safety car.
