The AAB and FIA
The Automobile Association of Bangladesh (AAB) is launching an open selection process for a National Team to represent Bangladesh at the 2024 FIA Motorsport Games in Spain in October 2024. The AAB is on a mission to discover all Bangladeshis with a talent and passion for motorsport and Esports.
The AAB is the National Sporting Authority (ASN) for Bangladesh, as recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the world body for motorsport. AAB has sole authority for the selection of Bangladeshi nationals for the FIA Motorsport Games.
As part of the 2024 FIA Motorsport Games, Esports will be featuring in 2 categories: Esports GT and Esports F4. Esports are an accessible way for people to participate in the excitement of motorsport. Every Formula 1 team has its own Esports team. Some Esports drivers have even been able to progress to physical motorsport.
Bangladesh was proudly represented at the 2022 FIA Motorsport Games in France for the first time, when AAB selected Arhaam Rahaman in the Fanatec Esports category, supported by Beximco. This time we want to send a bigger team including 2 drivers for the Esports GT and Esports F4 categories.
