A valuable resource for the Motorsport industry...
As you know, competing in motorsport isn’t easy and the challenges start long before your car is lined up on the grid. In order to reach that point, one needs to possess a variety of skills including being able to balance team requirements, personnel management and the multitude of logistical planning and administration hurdles one has to overcome.
Motorsport Matters can contribute to your success by removing all these obstacles – allowing driver or team to enjoy premier class support and bypass the logistical headaches.
But what exactly do we offer?
Motorsport Matters takes away all the hassles and distractions by offering a one-stop solution for all your logistical and planning support needs. From single drivers to private and factory teams, we can handle anything and everything from small but doubtlessly important tasks (such as race laundry) to arranging travel, planning marketing, organising and managing each race meeting or test and all the administrative tasks that can seem to dominate ones schedule. These include hospitality arrangements, itineraries and race schedules as well as organising all necessary paperwork including entry forms, visas and work permits amongst numerous other tasks....
Motorsport Matters Profile
Quaife is a name that needs no introduction in the world of motorsport – it has been a passion that has run through the family blood for three generations.
Since the 1960's, the family has been heavily involved in the industry in both bikes and cars. Their experience in automotive engineering ranges from design to production as well as competition – from Michèle's father competing successfully in both two and four-wheeled competition in the early 1970s through to the present day in which brother Phil competes in Sportscars.
It is clear to see where Michèle has inherited her enthusiasm and dedication to the sport.
Michèle has been involved in motorsport her whole life and professionally for the last 5 years gaining invaluable experience working with teams, drivers, sponsors and organisations – with Motorsport Matters being the culmination of her wealth of experience. Prior to launching Motorsport Matters, Michèle worked for the highly successful Carlin Motorsport.
