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 Saturday 8th to Sunday 16th August 2009.
National Motorsport Week is a joint initiative between the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) and the Motorsport Foundation®. The aim is simple; to promote and inspire the excitement of motorsport to new audiences – to generate more interest, more spectators, more competitors, more jobs, more marshals and more officials.
The spectacular results and exhilarating racing from British F1 Drivers supported a 7% leap in UK F1 viewing figures to over 29 million per race. This year also combines considerably challenging economic conditions whilst at the start of the season, F1 experienced the most extreme changes to technical regulations in its history. It is unquestionably an exceptionally exciting time for motorsport and sets the pace to grow public and media awareness across all motorsport disciplines in 2009.
There will be a huge range of live motorsport events, displays, exciting competitions and prizes, plus factory open days - a chance to get close to the cars, bikes, drivers and riders that make motorsport an extreme adrenalin sport.
