He was elected to the Motor Sports Association Race Elite Scheme in April 2007, along with five other drivers in various British series.

Marriage and Family
He married Cecilia Mary Elizabeth del Conti (of the Counts) Colacicchi, Nobile Anagni (born 1988) at Arundel Cathedral on 16 July 2016. They have two daughters, Lady Flora Mary Isabella Fitzalan-Howard (born 10 November 2018) and Lady Rachel Marie Fitzalan-Howard (born 12 May 2020).
Cecilia is the daughter of Count William Colacicchi, descendant of Odoardo Colacicchi and of Clare Elizabeth Vivienne Clutterbuck; through her mother she is a descendant of the Somers-Cocks, Barons Somers, the Clutterbucks and the Hardings, both belonging to the landed gentry.
The Colacicchi family was enrolled among the twelve patrician families of Anagni in 1762 in the person of Anastasio, and since he died without heir, his brother Antonio, ancestor of the current representative of the family, succeeded in his rights. Pope Leo XIII with Brief of November 23, 1886 granted Odoardo the title of Roman count. Another branch of the family has also received the comitatus romanus with Brief of April 26 1923. All titles have been recognized by the Kingdom of Italy, in particular that of Nobile Anagni belongs to all family members regardless of sex.
