The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile is a French association that is the leading governing body in the world of motorsport.
History
[edit]The Association Internationale des Automobile Clubs Reconnus or International Association of Recognized Automobile Clubs (AIACR) was founded in Paris on June 20, 1904, as an association for motor clubs. This association was designed to represent the interests of motor car users, as well as to oversee the rapidly growing international motorsport scene. In 1922, AIACR delegated the organization of automobile racing to the Commission Sportive Internationale (CSI), which would set the regulations for international Grand Prix motor racing. The European Drivers' Championship was introduced in 1931, a title awarded to the driver with the best results in the selected Grand Prix. When motor racing resumed after the Second World War, AIACR was renamed the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The FIA established several new racing categories, among them Formula One and Two, and created the first World Championship, the Formula One World Drivers' Championship, in 1950.[1]
Objective
[edit]Few competitive endeavours offer the adrenaline-fuelled excitement of motorsport. From Formula One’s thrilling blend of high tech and high glamour to the World Rally Championship’s potent mix of ultimate car control and extreme environments, the top-level of motorsport has the ability to ignite the strongest passions in competitors and spectators alike. But raw emotion must be backed up by calm control and it’s here that the FIA operates, regulating and adjudicating at hundreds of events in a huge variety of series each year. Providing regulatory expertise and an impartial sporting judicial system.
Recognising that motor sport is inherently dangerous, the FIA has, throughout its history, worked ceaselessly to improve safety at all levels of competition. In the 1960s, one in every eight Formula One events resulted in a driver being killed. However, 50 years later, the FIA is hugely proud of the fact that the number of accidents in championships it organizes has markedly decreased. There is no room for complacency, however. While F1 has an enviable safety record, other categories continue to see injuries and fatalities occur and the FIA is committed to eradicating deaths and serious injury from all forms of motorsport."FIA (The FIA's Objective)
