The Automobile Association of Malaysia (AAM) and Motorsports Association of Malaysia (MAM) on 26 November 2007 announced a collaboration that will see both organizations working together to accelerate the growth of motor sports in the country to a new level and
higher level.

Under an agreement brokered by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) with the concurrence of the Federation International de Motorcyclisme (FIM), AAM as their official representative, controlling and governing body for motor sports in the country, will continue to hold and exercise the sporting powers for automobile sport and
motorcycle sport in Malaysia.

MAM meanwhile, in recognizing AAM as the National Sporting Authority (ASN) for Malaysia, will now become one of 22 affiliates under AAM.

In view of its unique position of being in possession of the necessary resources, MAM, in accordance with the rules, regulations and constitution upheld by AAM, will undertake tasks to meet with the national objectives of developing motor sports at the grassroots level.

As an affiliate of AAM, MAM, will now be authorised to issue on behalf of AAM, event permits for national competition and national competition licenses to MAM competitors, clubs and other affiliates. AAM will continue to issue national, international competition licence and national event permits to all its affiliates and competitors.

“This collaboration underlines a strong commitment by both organizations and the agreement was mutually reached in the best interest of developing motor sports in Malaysia and with the objective of bringing the sport to a new and higher level,” said AAM Chairman Tunku Mudzaffar Tunku Mustapha.
