We are Motorsport
Insurance Specialists
At Slipstream Underwriting, we are driven by our passion for motorsport, and all importantly we are armed with in-depth knowledge coupled with actual proven experience within the motorsport industry. Based on our specialist experience, we recognised a real need in the sport for ‘fit-for-purpose products’, by this we mean ‘motorsport specific products designed by motorsport people’.
Our targeted and focused understanding of complex risk underwriting, specific to motorsport, has enabled us to develop financially attractive modular and enhanced product offerings that are fully attuned to motorsport participants, businesses, teams, and drivers from amateur to professional, through to governing bodies, motor clubs, event organisers and track owners.
