Motor sport in Asia has a reasonable long and stable background, but nothing like the history
of the sport in Europe or America, even though China did host the Peking to Paris event in 1907. 
Asian motor sports have developed in the individual countries independently, and these separate countries have introduced their own local rules, which have more or less worked, but only allows competition at the national level. However, in today’s global village, it is necessary to branch out beyond national borders.

One such company which is assisting Asian motor sport to grow upwards and outwards is Motorsport Asia Limited, the brain child of David Sonenscher, who could be considered to be the Bernie Ecclestone of Asia (but a lot younger)!

Sonenscher’s Motorsport Asia developed the concept of a traveling circus called the Asian Festival of Speed (AFOS) and made the personal transition from driver and then team manager to finally a series organizer.  That he has managed to do that is a great testament to his persistence, as anyone who has tried to work across
the Asian borders will testify.
