Seems to me that unfortunately for organizations like BRDC that the principles which it was founded on scarcely exist in modern motorsport.
With the current generation of drivers they can only really claim "promotion of the sport" solely based on birth records and his/her achievements.
With corporate allegiance (i.e. the enormous budget required to be a winning team) being the name of the game these days, I'd think you'd be hard pressed to find a young pro hotshot who would drive for say, Red Bull Racing based on patriotic principles the way drivers did for say BRM back in the old days.
Even if they did, anyway the company is actually Austrian!
Probably why they're forced to reassess who they consider to be promoters of "British racing heritage".
Otherwise they'd need to be content with soon becoming a club exclusively of retired drivers and circuit management. That's no small thing in and of itself however.
