Roles and responsibilities
FIA · 2026 · Issue 03In short
Who regulates, organises and ensures compliance.
Different roles
The FIA develops, administers and enforces the rules. Organisers manage the competition under FIA and national sporting authority supervision. Promoters handle commercial matters and must not intervene in safety, sporting or technical decisions during competition.
Honesty and information
Covered participants must cooperate, provide accurate information and respect decisions. Teams and manufacturers must train personnel, protect good-faith reporting and safeguard confidential information. Staff movements must not be used to transfer protected information between competitors.
