Motor sport

In 1926, the AAA sought authority to administer motor sport in Australia, which was subsequently obtained via the Royal Automobile Club.^[12]

Following a decision to focus on its primary role, the association relinquished this authority to the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport,^[12] formed in 1953.
