Motorsport is being considered for inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics
The president of the American Football Association said the new sports that will be added to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics will be announced in the coming weeks. For new sports to be included in the Olympics, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will need to approve this decision at its meeting in Mumbai in October.
Motor sports is one of the sports considered for inclusion in the Olympics. Although motorsports did not appear fully in previous Olympics, It may be possible for them to participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics as the lack of this situation is felt by all their fans and the motor sports community increases.
Motorsports to the Olympics The possibility of inclusion stems from the inclusion of electric karting in Olympics held outside of the FIA's own motorsports Olympics. First included as a competition at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics, electric karting was held once again in 2020.
There are several reasons why electric karting is included in the Olympics. First, electric karting's low emissions and virtually no noise make it a more acceptable option for Olympic organizers and host countries. Second, electric karting has the potential to spread a traffic safety message to younger drivers.
Whether electric karting will be included in the Olympics will be decided at the IOC meeting in October. Motorsport fans hope this decision will be positive.
