FIA’s role

To those who don’t know why we are raving about this, here’s why.

FIA is short for the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile, which governs most championships around the world like Formula 1, Formula E, World Rally Championship, World Touring Car Championship and World Endurance Championship.

With all of these series being supported by car manufacturers, tire makers, fuel suppliers, etc., FIA needs to plot the course of motor sports way ahead and get everyone on the same page and direction to develop the sport.

There is also a need to talk about FIA’s advocacy, which is Road Safety. The recent slogan is “Save Kids Lives” and is really quite the right time to do it. Road Accidents kill at least 1.2 Million people every year worldwide. It is going to become the 5th cause of human deaths by 2030 according to FIA’s study unless we all do something about it.

Locally, FIA has designated the AAP as our National Sporting Authority to govern local motor sports. FIA has recently funded the to make their events safe and up to par with international competitions. We were fortunate FIA CAMS of Australia about 3 years ago. Now, AAP is spearheading the preparation for the conference along with our Department of Tourism and San Miguel and Petron Corporations.
