The Motorsport Industry Association is the trade association for the motorsport industry in the United Kingdom. Most top-level motorsport constructors are based in the UK. Around 75% of motorsport research and development takes place in the UK.
History
It was established in April 1994. The UK motorsport industry has mostly developed on former airfields in the south Midlands.
Function
It represents the UK motorsport industry at a national level. Around 4,500 companies in the UK are involved in the motorsport industry, with an annual turnover of around £6 billion, with more than half being exports. It spends 30% of turnover on research and development. There are around 25,000 qualified engineers involved in the UK industry.
National Motorsport Week is at the end of June each year.
Structure
Although most of the British motorsport industry is based in the so-called Motorsport Valley (the name comes from Silicon Valley) in Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire, the organisation is in Warwickshire, just a short drive up the M40.
