I was bearly old enough to remember the last F1 race in Adelaide in 1995, but I do recall the hype and atmosphere that sourounded that race as a boy and still have a red toy Ferrari (driven by Michael Schumacher at the time) purchased for me by my parents from my local home town Australia Post which still encapsulates those moments for me. With that potential and excitement that was built up from the races in Adelaide from 1985 onwards (last race in the annual F1 calendar over this period), it has been so very disappointed to see the golden years of F1 go to the benefit of Melbourne and Victoria (especially with how much history and input SA across many venues has contributed to developing the 'Australian Grand Prix' event right back to the 1920s! Formula E is an emerging spectacle, one that reflects the clean energy branding we are pushing here in SA and aligns with the transitioning of our local economy to attract high tech companies and Business. We still have a strong motor sport heritage here in Adelaide / SA dispite lossing our symbolic locally founded and made Holden's and local car industry with Mitsubishi also closing down their factories. Formula E is quickly gaining popularity each year and is increasingly relevant to the next generation of motor fans with EVs growing in numbers within our communities seemingly on a daily basis. Peter Malinauskas, Brand South Australia, the addition of formula E in Adelaide while it is still early and growing would be the perfect boost to reignite the falling relevance of the Adelaide500 race now Adelaide's car industry is now non existent and the formula now relies on imports with no real local comnections. How good would it be to bring Formula E to the Streets of Adelaide! https://lnkd.in/gJMVyrrx

#sport with major events is a driving force for the #economy, but also for #aviation, which improves connectivity to the venues of #events, as in the case of the America's Cup in #Barcelona, the #Olympic Games in #Paris and the EURO 2024 GmbH European Championship in #Germany. Three events that also pushed Vueling Airlines to strengthen connections in 2024, towards Paris, #Berlin, #Hamburg, #Düsseldorf, #Stuttgart and obviously Barcelona, its HUB. An "adaptation", which will not influence the Spanish airline's commitment to the connectivity of #Spain, the #Balearic Islands and the #Canary Islands. https://lnkd.in/d42ryfes #Vueling #EURO2024 Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 Aena International Airlines Group (IAG) Düsseldorf Airport BER - Berlin Brandenburg Airport Hamburg Airport Stuttgart Airport Groupe ADP #wetravelbiz Wetravel.biz #wetravelaviation Wetravelaviation

Corporate motorsports hospitality growth potential in India Both F1 and MotoGP started in Europe, but they are now truly global, and there is a truly global fan base. Originally with a European fan base, this has expanded to the Americas and then Asia, Australasia. Fans from Europe come to Singapore and India, and Asian fans go overseas to popular races. Valencia and Barcelona are popular destinations for MotoGP, for example. F1 in 2023 is held in 22 circuits globally, starting with Bahrain and concluding in Abu Dhabi. MotoGP in 2023 is held in 20 circuits globally, starting with Algarve (Portugal) and concluding in Valencia (Spain). I caught up with my friend from Barcelona Ms Griselda Foguet Plaza who is Hospitality & Experiences Director of Dorna Sports which runs the MotoGP business globally. “It was the first time that we did MotoGP in India. I felt there is a huge and much bigger potential for MotoGP in India. We are of course coming back next year, which will be bigger and better” said Griselda san. MotoGP just held its India debut race just in October 2023. MotoGP India had over 110,000 spectators join in its inaugural year. Corporate motorsports hospitality entertainment is big. Top B to B customers are invited to motorsports events. Entertaining top customers at the F1 is really big. The Paddock Club for VIP entertainment in Singapore costs a whopping 11,000 USD or more for a 3 day pass. Free flowing champagne, food by Michelin star chefs, and more. For MotoGP India it can start from 2,000 Euros for a 2 day pass, but prices are likely set to increase next year. VIP corporate motorsports entertainment at hospitality suites are more and more popular - that wine and dine at the highest levels to ensure better business relationships and deals. For those who are not at the hospitality suites, in other words the majority of spectators, food and drinks can be on the pricey side at the food stalls, but given the fantastic atmosphere of enjoying food and drink at motorsports events, customers are happy to pay that bit extra. F1 may come back to India, and MotoGP will only grow in India, it will be exciting to see motorsports grow in India, and VIP corporate hospitality too.
