Data gathering of 200 circuits

The first edition of the Circuit Business Index is based on data from approximately 200 racetracks around the globe that participated in the FIA Global Motorsport Impact Study survey published mid of 2021. The financial data is predominantly based on 2019 financial statements and therefore does not consider the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic. The data was collected by the FIA in collaboration with the national motorsport authorities (Autorités Sportive Nationale, ASNs). As part of a collaboration, Circuit Business submitted its own questions for the questionnaire section relating to the racetrack market.

Data correlation and analytics

Motorsport professionals can get exclusive access to insightful data-driven analysis and correlations on the following topics with the Circuit Business Index 2022:

Geographical location of the racetracks
Ownership structure of the tracks
Infrastructure of the racetracks (existing track modules etc.)
Number of motorsport and non-motorsport events
Customer / user segments of the racetracks
Revenue, costs and EBITDA figures

The report correlates the various KPIs against each other and consequently gives new insights into the racetrack industry.

Customized business analysis based on lookalike racetracks

Our own algorithms are used to identify similarities between a concerned racetrack and similar ones from the report. It is the first time in the racetrack consulting business that so-called ‘lookalike audiences’ of racetracks can be created based on scientific data.
Based on this analysis, we offer a "CIRCUIT HEALTH CHECK" for racetrack operators that shows exactly how their racetrack performs in comparison to other tracks of a similar nature.
For investors that are planning to build a new circuit or expand their existing circuit, our "Circuit Business Case Check" provides a specific evaluation of how the new circuit and its business model compare to similar, existing circuits.
