The panel, which was made up of leading players from Industry, Sport, Academia and Government, was set up by the DTI in October 2002. It recommends that:

• a Motorsport Development Board be created to lead, coordinate and prioritise development activities
• participation in the sport should be improved by reducing cost, improving infrastructure, transportation links, marketing and programmes to improve social inclusion.
• the UK continues to make efforts to host world class Motorsport events like the Formula One world championship, the World Rally Championship, and the World Superbike championship
• the talent of those on the frontline of Motorsport, from drivers to officials, be improved. This should be helped through a national programme of training and development initiatives
• a Motorsport Academy be created to improve the skills of the industry, which will link with the recently announced Automotive Academy. Focus on co-ordinating and maintaining quality across all Motorsport educational courses
• high technology advances from the Motorsport industry should be transferred into other areas.
• energy efficiency within Motorsport should be encouraged to accelerate the development of alternative fuel technology.
• existing tax laws are reviewed to help ensure the industry and sport can be as competitive as possible
• an RDA led Government Motorsport Unit should be formed to co-ordinate available government resources towards the Motorsport cluster
