How motorsport's 'Olympics' is succeeding in a crucial mission

Following an expanded 2022 event, the FIA Motorsport Games is being scaled up again for the 2024 edition, which kicks off this week. It will be the third iteration of what’s colloquially known as the ‘Olympics for motorsport’ – an FIA-run competition in which teams compete for their country in a diverse mix of motorsport events.

Much of the 2024 event will take place at Valencia’s Circuit Ricardo Tormo. It’s a track that’s perhaps better known for motorcycling than cars – it has hosted MotoGP annually since 1999 – but until 27 October it’ll play host to many of the 26 categories (up from just six in the first iteration and 16 for the second). Among the regulars, such as Formula 4, GT and TCR, new events include Single Make GT (basically a one-off event of the Ferrari Challenge), plus a new F4-specific Esports race.
