The dates for next summer’s National Motorsport Week have been announced. Now entering its third year of joint-promotion by the two leading bodies in UK motor sport – the Motor Sports Association (MSA) and Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) – National Motorsport Week 2013 will run from 29 June to 7 July 2013.
The high profile week will again include the country’s premier motor sport event, the 2013 Santander Formula One British Grand Prix at Silverstone and underline the UK’s world leading position within the sport. All eight UK-based F1 teams supported this year’s National Motorsport Week with 13 times Grand Prix winner David Coulthard and Nick Fry, Chief Executive Officer of Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One, appointed as official spokesmen.
As well as celebrating the UK’s on-going global success at the highest levels, National Motorsport Week also puts the spotlight onto grass roots activities and events, encouraging more people to get involved whether as a competitor, volunteer, spectator, engineer or other career profession.
“We are delighted to receive widespread support from across the motor sport community, from all UK-based F1 teams right down to the grass roots through our registered clubs,” said MSA Chief Executive Colin Hilton.
“This year delivered even greater media coverage, thanks to the likes of David Coulthard and Nick Fry lending their enthusiastic support, so the challenge is to keep the momentum going and make next year’s celebration better still. I would urge all motor clubs to pencil the date into their diaries and start thinking about how they might be able to use National Motorsport Week 2013 to help recruit new members.”
