A PURPOSE DRIVEN INITIATIVE
Foreword by President Jean Todt
Ladies, Gentlemen, Motorsport has always participated in the progress of society, particularly in terms of technology and innovation to improve health and safety as well as to protect our environment. Advances on the racetrack find their way to the road, helping to preserve lives and the planet. This has probably never been as clear as in the response of the community to the global pandemic this year. And while motor racing is back on track, providing entertainment for its millions of fans, it remains a laboratory for a better future. At the FIA, we wanted to collate and highlight this contribution as we move forward. So, we commissioned the innovation consultancy Futerra to research and publish this comprehensive and first-of-its-kind report. It brings together twenty-six motor sport innovations with a positive impact on health, safety and the environment. Indeed, the motor racing community has created much greater value than generally known. We hope to inspire engineers, technicians and visionaries all around the world to push the technical boundaries and never accept the status quo. In a changing world, faced with important challenges, it is necessary to go further. This is why we launched the #PurposeDriven movement, to federate and amplify the initiatives that help us achieve our objectives in terms of health and safety, environment, gender equality, diversity, inclusion and community development. With my most heartfelt wishes for your continued safety and health, Jean Todt, FIA President
FORWARD
