PRO ANNUAL 2018

hat an electrifying year 2017 was both on and off the race track, especially with Lewis Hamilton taking his fourth World Championship title, Ashley Sutton winning the BTCC and Josh Files capturing the ASAC TCR Germany – a really great year for the Brits. Of course, Formula E still stands out to impress and we’ve seen some encouraging results from this new era of motorsport. This includes new championships homing in on electric and hybrid racing, even at amateur level, as well as EV track days entering the organisers’ calendars, something we at MotorsportDays are keen to keep an eye on. Now in 2018, we have our very own launch event at Silverstone, Motorsportdays.LIVE . You can find out more within this edition of your PRO- AM Annual so I won’t go on for too long here. However, I do want to highlight that this landmark event, which will take place over two days 2 nd -3 rd November 2018, will be the first motorsport event where you can get on-track, behind the wheel and find new race teams and championships. Utilising Silverstone’s state of the art Wing facilities’ full potential, we will create an exhibition featuring the latest equipment – everything you need to prepare for the season ahead. We will also be hosting a conference to enable you to engage and improve in all areas, ranging from sponsorship to sim racing, engineering to tyre pressures. This is a very exciting development in European motorsport so make sure you don’t miss out and buy your ticket today at www.motorsportdays.live . But until then, why not enjoy this latest edition of the PRO-AM Annual, featuring exclusive interviews from WTCC and BTCC’s Tom Chilton, CEO of TCR Marcello Lotti, Sponsorship and PR supremo Louise Goodman, creative motorsport photographer Andrew Soul and of course the perennially popular, comprehensive, end-of-year championship results. We thank you again for your support and look forward to meeting many of you at MotorsportDays .LIVE at Silverstone in November 2018.
