The FIA Motorsport Games is an exceptional opportunity for the entire motor sport family to come together, from grassroots level to the elite, with women and men from a host of regions and countries all sharing this passion we have for the sport,” Kristensen said.

 

“It is also a chance to give motor sport in your country fresh impetus after this difficult period. As drivers, we don't get many opportunities to race on behalf of our country.”
