The Olympics are over, and the Paralympics have just begun, but for motorsport fans, there’s no category included to fuel their passion. Discussions have surfaced about potentially including motorsports in future Olympics, but who has the patience to wait if it even happens at all? My impatient mind certainly does not!
Fortunately, there’s already an event that brings the Olympic spirit to the world of motorsport: the FIA Motorsport Games.
The FIA Motorsport Games is an international motorsport event that first took place in 2019. While the event is scheduled to occur every two years, the 2021 edition was postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the event is set to start on the 23rd of October with the opening ceremony and will conclude on the evening of the 27th with the closing ceremony. This competition merges the excitement of motorsport with Olympic-style representation, bringing together multiple motorsport disciplines.
- 2019 (held at the ACI Vallelunga Circuit, Italy): Russia
- 2022 (held at the Circuit Paul Ricard, France): Italy
Unlike traditional motorsport events where individual teams and drivers represent themselves or manufacturers, competitors in the FIA Motorsport Games represent their home countries. They compete across various motorsport disciplines for gold, silver, and bronze medals, which contribute to their nation’s overall standing in the medal table.
The FIA Motorsport Games 2024 will showcase a wide range of disciplines, allowing nations to compete in various motorsport categories, including:
- Circuit Racing: GT and Touring Cars, Formula 4, and Truck Racing
- Rallying: Rally2, Rally4, and Historic Rally
- Off-Road
- Karting
- Drifting
- Electric Street: Auto and karting slalom
- Esports: Esports GT and F4
The FIA Motorsport Games 2024 offers motorsport fans worldwide numerous ways to follow along, ensuring that the event is accessible to as many viewers as possible, whether they watch on screen or in person.
The official FIA Motorsport Games website will feature a live stream, along with real-time updates, results, and highlights. Additional streaming sites are likely to be added at a later time.
The FIA Motorsport Games will be promoted on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. These platforms will feature live updates, behind-the-scenes content, interviews, and race highlights, allowing fans to engage with the event in real-time.
In 2024, the event will take place in Valencia, Spain. Spectators can purchase tickets directly through the official FIA Motorsport Games website or from local ticket vendors, with various options available depending on the desired level of access.
As the FIA Motorsport Games 2024 draws closer, anticipation is building for what promises to be a spectacular display of motorsport excellence. With nations from around the world competing in a wide range of thrilling disciplines, this event will be a true celebration of speed, skill, and national pride.
