2008 MIA US Business Development Mission
14th March 2008
The UK’s Motorsport Industry Association is organising another Business Development Mission to North Carolina and Indianapolis, as it has done for the past five years.
The 2008 Mission, which will run from May 16-25 is expected to benefit from the recent merger of the Champ Car and IRL Series, the successful introduction of the 'Car of Tomorrow' into the NASCAR Sprint Cup, the success of the Grand Am sportscar racing championship and the encouragement of green technogies in the American Le Mans Series sportscar racing championship.
MIA CEO Chris Aylett said, "The re-creation of a single major US championship for Indy Cars, and the introduction of new 'green' regulations provides UK motorsport companies with a tremendous opportunity. So does NASCAR's 'Car of Tomorrow', partly phased in last year and now mandatory for all. We didn't need much excuse to return to the home of either type of racing, as our previous trips have opened the door to millions of pounds worth of business for UK companies. However, new regulations mean new technology, and we must keep reminding our American cousins of the unrivalled expertise that the UK industry can offer."
