Thursday December, 2 The Relevance of Energy Efficiency to the Future of Motorsports Telephone/Webcast Session Code: MSEC28 Room Regency A-D Session Time: 10:30 a.m. This session joins SAE and MIA for a global webcast focusing on the opportunity that exists for the Motorsports industry by embracing energy efficient technologies. This opportunity is two-fold:

1) The technical opportunity: Motorsports act as a technology accelerator. Opening motorsports up to green technologies will give any technology partner a platform to design, develop, test and refine their chosen technologies. Many technological barriers still exist for the wholesale adoption of green technologies in the mainstream automotive market. Motorsport can help break these barriers down quicker.

2) The business opportunity: Motorsports have always been a highly effective marketing platform for the automotive industry. "Race on Sunday - sell on Monday" is as alive today as it has always been. This marketing power can be used to break down the negative perceptions that exist with some of today's alternative fuels. Showcasing that "green" does not mean slow, smelly, unspectacular or uncompetitive, but, in fact, can be a winning solution, is a crucial service that motorsport can offer to the automotive industry. Automotive OEMs need solutions which sell "green" solutions to a generally unexcited public and winning in motorsport will deliver that solution.

This session is free to those in attendance at the conference.
