Founded in 1953 as the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) – it was rebranded in 2020 - Motorsport Australia has successfully trained and mentored more than 4000 officials and marshals. One of four FIA Institute Regional Training Providers (RTP), it has provided training and/or operational support for the Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Korean, Malaysian, Singapore and Vietnam Grands Prix and worked on the establishment of the Vietnamese Motorsports Association, the country’s ASN, in 2019.

Two extra events added to the calendar for the R5 Rally Championship presented by First Citizens look set to spice up the title battle when action in the island’s first-ever national motor sport championship sanctioned by the Barbados Motoring Federation (BMF) picks up again after the summer break next month. Following Sol Rally Barbados (June 4/5), the top six in the standings are covered by just under 50 points, with the potential maximum on offer now increased to 190 during the remaining four months of the extended season.
