Racing to invest in Warwickshire

Key figures from the world of motorsport have heard how Warwickshire is offering unique opportunities in driving the industry forward.

Warwickshire County Council joined with Coventry and Solihull councils to stage an event at the weekend’s Autosport International at the NEC.

The seminar `Gateway to Motorsport Valley’ launched the results of extensive motorsport research in the region, highlighting the `fantastic opportunities’ for potential investors.

Already the Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire sub-region has won the business of everything from World Rally Teams through to specialised research and development companies.

Cllr Chris Saint, Warwickshire County Council Cabinet member for Economic Development, said: ``Working with partners we are offering a valuable opportunity to key players in the motorsport arena to examine the strategic advantages this sub-region holds as a unique hub of motorsport and performance engineering.’’
