Survey Findings:

Primary data gathered from clubs and professionals outlined six segments of motorsports with business potential, such as motor touring rallies and dirt racing. Despite moderate potential for events like motor racing, infrastructural deficiencies remain a significant challenge. A lack of proper tracks and financial backing continues to hinder the sport's growth.


Challenges Facing Motorsports Management in Nepal:

  1. Nature of the Country: Nepal’s agricultural base and limited technical infrastructure pose difficulties for developing motorsports.
  2. Academic Pathway: Motorsports-related academic courses are virtually non-existent in Nepal.
  3. Perceptions of Policymakers: Negative perceptions of motorsports as a high-risk activity hinder policy development and insurance coverage.
  4. Restrictions on Vehicle Modifications: Limitations on vehicle modifications affect user participation in motorsports.
  5. Lack of Event Commercialization: Motorsports events lack proper commercial backing and sponsorship.
  6. Technical Centers: Nepal lacks training and certification centers for motorsports professionals.
  7. Youth Migration: Political instability and youth migration present challenges for cultivating motorsports talent.

Opportunities in Motorsports Management in Nepal:
