CEYLON MOTOR SPORTS CLUB (CMSC) Creating an online racing championship to be run in schools across the nation to boost youth involvement in motor sport.

With the aim of boosting motor sport engagement among students and young people, the Ceylon Motor Sports Club (CMSC) created an online racing championship to be run in schools across Sri Lanka. Designed for 1200 participants, the online championship was developed with a view to both increasing engagement in motor sport and creating opportunities for students and young people to develop their existing skills and interest in racing. The online championship would conclude with a nationwide inter-schools final. Following the conclusion of the online final, the ASN would then work with the FIA to help transition the winners into real world motor sport, creating learning and training opportunities where appropriate.

Bringing affordable competition to Sudan through the launch of the cross car category via a trial event and the purchase of related equipment.

With the aim of boosting participation in grassroots motor sport across the country, the Sudanese Automobile and Touring Club (SATC) formulated a programme to develop the FIA’s cross car category as the first step on the rally/off-road ladder in Sudan. The series comprises buggy-style single-seater cars constructed used multi-tubular steel frames powered by motorcycle engines and featuring rear-wheel drive. As vehicles that are comparatively cheap to both buy and run, and with non-specialised maintenance needs, cross cars are an ideal solution to developing low cost off-road motor sport. The SATC’s programme would provide for the acquisition of timing equipment in addition to the vehicles themselves, and would feature the development of a trial event involving 20 officials and 20 competitors taking part in a low-cost off road/ rally event. The Automobile et Touring Club du Liban would work with the SATC as its Regional Training Provider.
