Grandprix.com at the Motor SportBusiness Conference

THE Motor SportBusiness Conference in Monte Carlo on December 13-14 will feature a variety of speakers which will include David Richards, Mark Blundell, CART chairman Joseph Heitzler, Minardi team owner Paul Stoddart, British American Racing chief operating officer Ian Ross and Williams F1's head of marketing Jim Wright.

The conference will concentrate on the future development of commercial aspects of the sport.

Grandprix.com's Joe Saward is to be one of the speakers and will find himself on the same panel as Formula 1.com's Nicola Morris. Formula 1.com is involved in legal action with the Formula One group of companies, while Grandprix.com is the only website to have been officially-recognized by the FIA. It will be interesting to see how the two views of the future of the sport on the Internet compare.
