While bridging ties allow motorsport companies to reach distant and diverse sources of knowledge, their strengthening and the formation of relational capital facilitate the mediation and overlapping of that knowledge.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>The analysis rests on a qualitative account in a single industry and does not take into account different types of inter\u2010firm networks (e.g. alliances; constellations; consortia etc.) and governance structures.
