National Motorsport Week®
National Motorsport Week needs your help:
Play your part and grow our sport!
National Motorsport Week is nine days of motorsport activities across the country from 7-15th August 2010.
National Motorsport Week is a joint initiative between the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) and the Motorsport Foundation®. Its aim is simple; to promote and inspire the excitement of motorsport to new audiences – to generate more interest, spectators, competitors, marshals, officials and jobs
In 2009, the spectacular results and exhilarating racing from British F1 drivers has generated a 7% increase in UK F1 viewing figures over 2008 levels – which now stand at over 29 million per race. This year has also combined the most extreme technical regulation changes in its history with challenging economic conditions. This is an exceptionally exciting time for motorsport, and the first half of the year has set the stage for a considerable growth in public and media awareness of all motorsport disciplines in 2009.
This year’s National Motorsport Week will feature be a huge range of live motorsport events and displays; exciting competitions and prizes; plus factory open days - a chance to get close to the cars, bikes, drivers and riders that make motorsport such an extreme and adrenalin-pumping sport.
