Motorsport Leaders Business Forum

The COVID-19 pandemic forced every business to reassess goals and strategies, and motorsport is no exception. Our industry showed incredible proactivity and agility to deliver entertainment in a compressed 2020 season whilst also supporting the fight against the virus by applying cutting edge technology and processes to those in need.

It’s a fascinating time for motorsport, with new championships, new power sources, the rise of esports and the opportunity to make motorsport relevant in a highly-connected world where car manufacturers talk as much about mobility solutions as the passion of driving.

The Motorsport Leaders Business Forum brings together the most influential leaders from across motorsport for knowledge-sharing, networking and high-level talks. Delving deep into some of the most pressing issues facing racing today, we'll be working together to define the future of the sport.

In the first edition, a panel of industry thought leaders discussed how 70 years of Formula 1’s technological advances have pushed the industry to be what it is today, how present day racing technology plays a part in our everyday lives and how innovative minds shape the future of motorsport.
