The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) has announced it will be known as Motorsport Australia in 2020 and beyond.
The new name signifies “the changing nature of the sport” and Motorsport Australia’s role as the government-recognized sporting organization for all four-wheeled motorsports in Australia, in addition to its delegated role as the National Sporting Authority by the Federation Internationale de’l Automobile (FIA), according to a press release.
Aside from the name change, Motorsport Australia’s responsibilities will remain the same and with no change to the organization’s constitution or structure.
“Anyone who may be looking to get involved in the sport will now know the first port of call will be Motorsport Australia – in line with other sporting bodies – and will not be confused about what our role is. We know from our own experiences, ‘CAMS’ or the ‘Confederation of Australian Motor Sport’ didn’t necessarily express the leading role we play to those unfamiliar with our sport,” CAMS President Andrew Papadopoulos said.
“While other names were considered, the change to Motorsport Australia is the most obvious fit and brings us in line with what many other sports have already done, including the Australian Government’s own agency, Sport Australia.”
Papadopoulos also said the organization’s existing international work would also be boosted by the change, with training overseas remaining a key revenue stream for the organization.
“Our people are playing a key role in the delivery of the first-ever Vietnam Grand Prix in 2020, highlighting the talented group of officials and staff we are so very proud of. With a new name, the strong reputation of Australia in global motorsport will be further enhanced.”
