Motorsport participation survey

This has been posted in the racers' forum, but I think it's relevant to spectators as well, and I think more comments are needed from just about every corner of the sport:

The MSA, ACU etc are looking at widening participation in motorsport - see:

http://www.msauk.org/site/wbs/news/V...262&category=0

As part of this there is a 5-minute survey at:

I done that survey weeks ago and there's very little in it regarding Spectators, it's all about participation.

I would have though trying to find out why you're just a spectator rather than getting involved, be it as a competitor or as a marshal, etc., is very pertinent to you as a spectator.

Sorry I must have misunderstood and thought that the survey was actually interested in the views of spectators towards motorsport and not just trying to boost the number of MSA Licence holders or Marshalls.

Thought it sounded too good to be true that actuall paying spectators interests were catered for.

This has to be one of the most eronius surveys ever canvessed. It's so completely NOT as advertised, as it has absolutely NOTHING to do with spectators whatsoever!

Flat12-Aircool. (great engine by the way). If you are a spectator you are one of the most valuable commodities in the sport. Surely you must have some opinion on the questions asked, if you do why not tell them.

If you think the survey is bad, tell them that as well.

They need to get a balanced view from everywhere (good, bad or ugly, they all count)

I already have, thats how I found out that most of the questions have absolutely nothing to do with spectating.

My annoyance is with people who keep introducing it to Threads and Forums that have nothing to do with Motorsport participation. Anybody might think they were on the Survey's payroll!

It surprises me that you think spectators are nothing to do with motorsport participation?

Sorry if I annoyed you However, like Biff, I think it would be for the general good of the sport if as many people as possible completed the survey, even if it isn't specifically tailored to them. The survey stands a good chance of being seen by some influential people, which is more than could be said for forums like this one.

Oh, and as for being on the payroll? I wish!

And it should be pointed out that at the end of the survey there is the opportunity to e-mail the people with additional views! Make the most of an opportunity, you never know your voice might make a difference. One thing is certain, if you don't contribute you will not have a dogs chance of affecting change.

Well done; I knew someone would have been paying attention.

After all great minds think alike; it is just that some of us are slower than others.
