Alongside him, Andrea Albani, Managing Director of the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, has been reconfirmed as Vice President.

“It is a great honor for me to take on the role of President of Motor Valley Development, an organization that represents the passion and innovation of our region. I assume this role with a spirit of service, continuing the work done by Claudio Domenicali, to whom I express my gratitude,” said Andrea Pontremoli. “My commitment will be to enhance the heritage we have, looking to the future with the same determination and vision that have always characterized the companies of our region. Together, we will continue to make the Motor Valley a global point of reference for two and four wheels, with the goal of remaining at the forefront both technically and as a social system, knowing that our strength will be the ecosystem we manage to build and maintain.”

Here are the words of outgoing President Claudio Domenicali: “Holding the role of President of Motor Valley Development from 2019 to today has been a privilege and a great responsibility. This region represents a unique excellence in the world not only from an industrial perspective but also from a tourist, cultural, and educational standpoint, and brings together the most prestigious Italian brands in the two and four-wheel industry, guardians of an invaluable heritage of motor expertise and technology. Contributing to its enhancement has been a great source of pride for me. Now, with deep respect, I pass the baton to Andrea – a passionate friend and professional – confident that he will lead the future of the Motor Valley with vision and dedication.”
