Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile
The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, commonly referred to as the FIA, is a non-profit association established on June 20, 1904 to represent the interest of motoring organisations and motor car users. It is also the governing body in Formula 1. It is headquartered at 8, Place de la Concorde, Paris, France. It consists of 213 national member organisations in 125 countries worldwide. Its current president is Max Mosley. In 1922, the FIA delegated the organisation of automobile racing to the CSI (Commission Sportive Internationale), an autonomous committee that later became the FISA (Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile). A restructuring of the FIA in 1993 lead to the disappearance of the FISA, putting motor racing under direct management of the FIA.
