    FEE FOR SERVICE AUTOMOTIVE MOTORSPORT ACTIVITY INCLUDES DYNAMIC CHASSIS MEASUREMENT AND ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND SUPPORT ACTIVITIES FOR MOTORSPORT VEHICLES AND GENERAL ENGINEERING ASSESSMENTS FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE. THESE ACTIVITIES WERE SIGNIFICANTLY CURTAILED BY COVID RESTRICTIONS, BUT STILL PROVIDED 32% OF WORKSHOP REVENUE FOR MAAP, MOSTLY THROUGH A CONTRACT WITH INTERNATIONAL MOTORSPORT ASSOCIATION (IMSA) TEAM JDC-MILLER MOTORSPORTS.
