Motorsport to Automotive
Motorsport to Automotive Sponsors:
The UK’s automotive industry supports nearly half a million jobs and annually exports goods worth £8.9bn, representing a great opportunity for the motorsport and high performance engineering industry. Other sectors of the UK economy including; Defence, Aerospace and Marine, have already reaped the benefits of the ‘can-do’, rapid response culture of the UK motorsport industry.
MIA’s Motorsport to Automotive Initiative (M2Auto) is inspired and driven by the Automotive OEMs who identified a need for the motorsport sector’s R&D capabilities and fast delivery expertise. M2Auto will facilitate and create closer collaboration between OEM automotive manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers, and MIA members of the motorsport and high performance engineering industry.
The automotive industry currently faces huge challenges, largely driven by the CO2 agenda, and with the rate of technology change faster than it has been for many decades, it’s a fantastic time to be an engineer:
“The mainstream automotive industry is hungry for new ideas, for innovation and for new technology and if the motorsport industry can provide some of those ideas, then it will undoubtedly benefit”
- Richard Parry-Jones CBE , Joint Chair of the Automotive Council
Automotive OEM’s identified the UK motorsport sector’s R&D prototyping capabilities, and rapid delivery, as being of real value in early stage project development requiring innovative / prototype / testing /design.
Now is the time to for motorsport companies to pro-actively engage with the Automotive Council, OEM’s and the Technology Strategy Board to help deliver their low-carbon plans.
