The BlackBook Virtual Summits bring industry leaders together to discuss the new path motorsport has been placed on.
In an uncertain world, motorsport needs to adapt. The pressures of a global pandemic, climate change and rapid digitalisation require bold changes in order for motorsport to remain relevant and continue to grow. In a three-part series, we are joined by prominent rights holders, race promoters, brands and OEMs to talk together on the future of the sport.
Part 3 was brought to you in partnership with F1 Experiences and Bahrain International Circuit.
