Location: North Carolina, USA

The fast-growing US motorsport market, currently estimated to be worth in excess of $11 billion with 400,000+ participants, spans a wide range of motorsport disciplines – the two biggest being NASCAR and IndyCar. 

Next May join the MIA Business Development Mission to Charlotte, North Carolina, the home of NASCARthe most valuable US motorsport series. In recent years, as a result of previous MIA and UK Government joint activities, UK suppliers have grown their share of this US motorsport business, several having now established operations in the region.

Building closer, profitable two-way relationships between Motorsport Valley ® UK and the business communities of Charlotte and Mooresville has always been one of our primary targets at the MIA.
