WMG was proud to be an official supporter of the Motorsport Industry Association's (MIA) Summer Reception at the House of Lords on 2 July.

The MIA is the world's leading trade association for the motorsport, performance engineering, services and tuning sectors and the annual Summer Reception features the presentation of the prestigious and unique Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Motorsport Industry.

Motorsport icon John Surtees OBE won this year's award, which was presented to him by Peter Luff MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Defence, in recognition of his unequalled career in motorsport, both as a driver and business leader for the past 60 years.

More than 300 people from Parliament, Government and the business world of motorsport attended and Surtees joins a very special group of previous MIA Award winners including last year’s winner, Adrian Newey, Ross Brawn OBE, Sir Frank Williams CBE, Sir Stirling Moss OBE, Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, Tom Wheatcroft and Bernie Ecclestone.
