The theoretical framework of this paper is based on the concepts which position motorsport in a context of sustainability at both global and team levels within the borders of systems theory. Training and racing activities of the MXStar team based in Uppsala (Sweden) are described in the paper from the environmental perspective. Changing of the team’s technical performance as well as their behavioural models has certain driving and restraining forces that are analyzed in particular in the discussion part of the paper. Recommendations for the MXStar team have been developed in accordance with the results of detailed analysis of the team’s environmental impact. The authors concluded that environmental performance of motocross racing composes from technical and behavioural inputs of each participating team. In order to optimize the environmental impact of the motocross each team member has to be innovative in both perspectives. Keywords: environmental

  • Motor Insurance: Consideration of the ‘Vnuk’ Judgement Consultation
    Motor Insurance: Consideration of the ‘Vnuk’ Judgement consultation Written submission by the Sport and Recreation Alliance The Sport and Recreation Alliance is the umbrella body for governing and representative bodies of sport and recreation in the UK. We represent 320 members including organisations like the FA, the Rugby Football Union, British Athletics, Ramblers, British Rowing and, from the motorsports sector, the Motor Sports Association (MSA) and the Amateur Motorcycle Association (AMCA). We also represent many organisations who rely on motor vehicles to assist in their sport and recreation activities. The Sport and Recreation Alliance brings together the sport and recreation sector and supports members to tackle challenges and take advantage of opportunities. We are the voice of the sector with Government, policy makers and the media. We help get the nation active at the grassroots by providing advice, support and guidance. Whilst we have ensured that our response reflects the views of our members, we would encourage Government to read the individual responses submitted by the motor sport governing bodies and those from other sport and recreation organisations. These will contain more detail on the effect of any change in the law regarding the insurance of motor vehicles on specific parts of the sport and recreation sector. Key comments We have provided more detailed answers to the relevant consultation questions below. However, before turning to those questions, we would make the following key points: • The Government sports strategy, Sporting Future, highlights the positive role that sport can play, both in generating benefits to individuals and communities from taking part but also as a driver of economic growth.

  • The New Motor Insurance Directive Proposal Threatens European Motorsport Companies and Employment
    The new Motor Insurance Directive proposal threatens European motorsport companies and employment Object: EU Citizen feedback to COM(2018)336/976568 - Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL amending Directive 2009/103/EC of 16/09/18 relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles and enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability Dear [Insert “Minister” or MEP’s name here], Shortly, the European parliament and the Council of the European Union will discuss, and vote on, a newly-revised Motor Insurance Directive (MID) from the European Commission. Unless the text of this Directive is amended, it will cause the loss of tens of thousands of jobs and motorsport-related businesses across all EU Member States. The newly proposed “scope” of the MID requires new insurance to cover “any use of a vehicle, consistent with its normal function as a means of transport, irrespective of the terrain on which the motor vehicle is used and whether it is stationary or in motion”. In which case, all motorsport vehicles will have to be insured for personal injury to other competitors AND for car-to-car damage during competition. Critically, the specialist insurance market for EU motorsport has advised the European Commission that NO INSURANCE, providing the increased cover as above is, or will be, available for any kind of motorsport activity in the EU. So, unless the MID is amended, as suggested below, all motorsport will become illegal in Europe. This would destroy the European motorsport industry, the jobs and technologies it provides and the freedom of millions to enjoy the sport they love.

  • What Do I Need for a Career in Motorsport?
    What do I need for a career in Motorsport? ...or the other high performance engineering sectors such as Defence, Marine or Automotive? The apparent ‘glamour’ of Motorsport - Formula 1 especially - is a powerful attraction to many; fast, noisy, colourful, broadcast on television from exotic locations with the ‘beautiful people’ in attendance... “I’d like to be there..!” Of course you would, but this is merely the televised pinnacle of a hugely diverse Sport serviced by a relatively small global Industry, the heart of which is based in the English Midlands in an area identified as Motorsport Valley . As with all other sectors, the impact of the world-wide recession has been considerable. Opportunities to join the UK-based industry workforce of just 40,000 are few and open only to the ‘best of the best’. Consequently, the right qualifications and, perhaps even more importantly, the right attitude and enthusiasm, are reviewed critically by would-be employers. In most professions, GCSEs, or the equivalent, in English and Maths are desirable... In Engineering, strength in these core subjects - and science - is essential for both Engineer and Technician pathways. So, whatever your ambition, the journey to a career in Motorsport or High Performance Engineering must begin with a dedication to these subjects at school. Later, at secondary level, some schools offer vocational qualifications in Engineering, IT and similar subjects. These provide skills and knowledge for a particular job and are taken by students who prefer a more work-focussed approach to study. But Motorsport is not only about Engineering: Like any other industry, there are requirements for supporting business skills - Sales, Marketing, Accounting, Project Management..

  • Chris Aylett
    Chris Aylett Chief Executive Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) Chris has been Chief Executive of the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) since 1998 which has become the leading business network for this global industry, with nearly 350 companies in membership which transact over $6 billion of global business. Worldwide membership now includes F1, World Rally and US teams, major promoters, leading manufacturers, circuit operators, and service providers. In 2000, he posed the question to the motorsport industry, asking ‘what future is there for motorsport in an energy-efficient world?’ This led to a UK Government-supported review by the MIA of this situation, which created a report entitled ‘Energy Efficient Motorsport (EEMS)’ and outlined the exceptional business opportunities which could be created. In 2003, the MIA created the world’s first international conference on this subject, in Birmingham, following which he has led many similar events around the world which have succeeded in widening the interest in new low-carbon business for motorsport companies. He has extensive international experience with both his business, and leading trade associations as Past President of the Sports Industries Federation, and has built up a widespread network of key industry contacts. He has successfully developed and promoted the MIA and its members around the world, and regularly leads business development missions to the USA, Europe and other markets, which have proved hugely beneficial to members. Chris, a former Roosevelt Scholar, was a successful sportscar driver, team owner and race series promoter. He created his own multi-million pound international sporting goods distribution group, experience gained by creating, leading and selling a group of SME companies has proved invaluable.
