The Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) is the governing body of motor sport, working towards safe, sustainable, and accessible mobility for all road users globally. The FIA operates in three main areas: Sport, Mobility, and Campaigns. Recently, Nissan made a groundbreaking commitment to the Gen4 era (2026-2030) of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, setting the stage for future innovation and competition in electric racing. Lola Cars also joined the championship, with Yamaha as their technical partner, showcasing the growing interest in sustainable racing technologies. Additionally, the FIA and iRacing are collaborating to grow grassroots motor sport, aiming to make racing more accessible to enthusiasts around the world. The organization continues to drive progress in the industry, as seen in the recent World Motor Sport Council meeting where new technologies and strategies for the future were outlined. In a historic move, five women were appointed as FIA commission leaders, highlighting the commitment to diversity and inclusion in motor sport. The FIA Drivers' Committee released new driving standards guidelines for circuit racing championships, emphasizing the importance of safety and fairness on the track. However, challenges persist, such as fraudulent sales of F1 hospitality packages by companies like Privè Global Events and Informa Hospitality Group. The FIA is also addressing online abuse, which poses a threat to sports by potentially driving away talented athletes. The upcoming 2024 FIA Conference in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, promises to be a platform for discussing key issues and opportunities in the industry. Through news, multimedia, events, and publications, the FIA engages with its member clubs and the public to promote transparency and collaboration. Join the FIA in its mission to shape the future of motor sport and mobility.
