is to provide safe experiences, with people spending quality time with one another with the
shared interest in all manner of vehicles travelling at which ever speed suits them. In the process
we hope that visitors will come to learn more about Britain, and that this fosters greater ties
between our two countries and the development of a Sino-British motorsport culture.”
Founder of the British Motorsport Festival Jim James
The BMF has the support of the British Government and British organisations in China which are
working together to improve relations between the 2 countries. The Department of International
Trade, formerly UKTI, British Council, China Britain Business Council, British Chamber of
Commerce, and Confederation of British Industry have all actively promoted the event.

Minister-Counsellor and Director, Advanced Manufacturing & Transport at the D.I.T, Dr Mark
Wareing, commented, “Motorsport culture is a key part of British society, and fuels over 4,500
companies and some GBP9 billions in revenue for our economy, not to mention the thousands of
events taking place every year centred around bringing together people to experience motorsport
in all its forms. The D.I.T. supports the BMF because we see this as a brilliant platform to
promote what is best in Britain here in China, and to encourage more trade between our two
countries.”

The British Motorsport Festival brings together car marques in a unique setting, as unlike a one
brand event or a trade show where cars are static, the cars can be seen side by side and actually
driven in a completely safe and controlled environment. This gives brands the opportunity to
showcase the full benefits of their vehicles and allows consumers to browse across the paddock
and see both mainstream luxury cars and dedicated track vehicles, all of which are designed and
built in the UK. The opportunity to book hot laps means that even those that are not potential
customers, can enjoy the experience of these unique cars.

unique blend of showcase and experience for the whole family, offering visitors the opportunity
to view cars at their leisure while also engaging in entertainment based around motorsport.
Jaguar Land Rover looks forward to showcasing all our Jaguar and Land Rover modelsand inviting
the media and our customers to the British Motorsport Festival.”
