MotorSport Vision is one of the world's foremost motorsport organisations, and the leading operator of UK motor racing venues. MSV has a portfolio ranging from major two and four wheel championships to organising the PalmerSport corporate driving event. ==History== MotorSport Vision was founded by John Britten, Sir Peter Ogden and Jonathan Palmer, who won the Formula Two Championship in 1983 and competed in 88 Formula One Grands Prix over the next six years. MSV is famous for buying Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Snetterton and Cadwell Park in 2004 and working to modernise their facilities and customer care. Brands Hatch, the former venue for the British Grand Prix, has begun hosting international car racing again - events either joining or back on its calendar include the DTM German touring car championship, the FIA World Touring Car Championship and the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport. In 2006, MSV formed MotorSport Vision Racing (MSVR), providing a complete car and bike racing organisation capability to the MotorSport Vision group. MSVR organises over 30 events annually across 10 UK circuits. MotorSport Vision's trackday division, Club MSV, has grown to become one of the UK's biggest trackday companies in the past four years and organises novice events up to advanced driver training days. Alongside PalmerSport, MSV also run driving experiences at Brands Hatch and Oulton Park.〔(Review of MSV's fleet of driving experience cars )〕 MSV also ran the Formula Palmer Audi championship from 1998 to 2010 which advanced the careers of hundreds of young hopefuls, nine of whom have made it all the way to Formula One. In 2008 MSV also acquired the rights to the British Superbike Championship which has already seen the considerable benefits of MSV's commercial, administrative and organisational expertise. In September 2008 MotorSport Vision won an FIA tender to supply cars and operate the FIA Formula Two Championship, a new international single seater series derived from an FIA initiative to provide young, talented drivers with the opportunity to compete in top-level racing on a competitive budget. The Formula Two cars, like Formula Palmer Audi, were assembled and prepared in a dedicated facility at Bedford Autodrome, also home to PalmerSport and FPA. This category was discontinued after 2010. One of its founders, John Britten, died on 25 November 2009, after a long period of illness.〔(Personal statement ) by Jonathan Palmer〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MotorSport Vision」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
