Introduction to IMMS
An integrated operational management system for Motoring Authorities.
In 2009 CAMS introduced the new Integrated Motoring Management System.
The SystemThe Integrated Motoring Management System developed by CAMS is a framework to enable the efficient management of motor sport and related motoring enthusiast activities in a coordinated, transparent and flexible approach to all areas of core business. It is a system designed for motoring authorities, particularly those who hold status as a National Sporting Authority within the discipline of motor sport.
A strong need has existed for an integrated approach to the management of motor sport and related motoring activities.
IMMS brings together both competitive and non-competitive events and activities to create a true integrated approach to motor sport and motoring enthusiast management.

Each discipline area holds its very own brand identity to enable clear visual linkage and allow the membership to navigate easily through the processes and procedure of CAMS.
The design of the IMMS logo is reminiscent of the fast-paced nature of motor sport and related motoring activities. The segmented shape of the circles serves as a visual cue of many aspects related to motor sport, such as tyre marks, a speedometer, lines on the road, wheels of a car, and the maintenance aspect of motoring.
