If you want to watch it before it's officially added, you can tune it in via non Freesat mode using the following parameters:

11.307 H, 27.500, 5/6, DVB-S QPSK

*You may find it labelled as '52290'.
When it launches, Motorsport.tv (abbreviated name 'motorstv') will be on EPG no 253.

Coincidentally, 'Freesat UHD' has (re)appeared in the test region on LCN 998. This points to the SES/Astra test stream on 12441V, which is probably the new addition to the Freesat NIT. This essentially replaces the 'Freesat 4K' service that was present until recently.

Worth mentioning the three test labels that have been present for a while, too. 'Test 1', 'Test 2' and 'Test 3' are allocated LCNs 1961, 1962 and 1963 respectively. While there are other test labels, these have got EPG data for ITV Tyne Tees SD, HD and +1.

Interestingly they point to non-existent data streams using PIDs 10544, 10545 and 10546 on the Freesat home TP, very odd...
