Historic Breakthrough: Laura Villars Makes Strides as First Female Candidate for FIA Presidency

In a groundbreaking twist that is shaking the foundations of motorsport governance, Laura Villars, a 28-year-old Swiss racing driver, has officially thrown her hat into the ring for the presidency of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA). This unprecedented candidacy comes on the heels of Carlos Sainz Sr.’s withdrawal and Tim Mayer’s proposal to challenge the incumbent president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

Villars’ candidacy represents a seismic shift in the traditionally male-dominated realm of motorsport leadership, as she aims to dismantle barriers and pave the way for greater female representation in racing. “The FIA must return to being the Federation of clubs and license holders. My ambition is for a more democratic, transparent, responsible governance that is open to women and the new generations,” Villars declared passionately. Her vision reflects a growing movement within the sport to champion diversity and innovation, asserting the crucial need for the motorsport industry to inspire and engage young people around the globe.

With an impressive track record, Villars has made her mark on various racing circuits, racking up 58 appearances across prestigious platforms including the Ultimate Cup Series F3R, F4 UAE, the Ferrari Challenge Europe, and the Ligier European Series. Notably, she secured a commendable fifth-place finish in her first full season in the Ultimate Cup Series F3R in 2023, showcasing her talent and determination. Currently, she competes in the Ligier European Series JS P4 with Team Virage, where she continues to elevate her profile in the racing community.

The upcoming elections for the FIA presidency are set to take place on December 12 during the general assembly in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and the anticipation surrounding Villars’ candidacy is palpable. As the countdown to the election intensifies, the motorsport world watches closely, eager to see how this bold move will reshape the future of the FIA and potentially inspire a new era of inclusivity and representation in racing.

Villars is not just a candidate; she is a trailblazer poised to ignite discussions on gender equality in motorsport, making her a figure to watch in the coming weeks as she challenges the status quo. The stakes are high, and the impact of her candidacy could resonate far beyond the confines of the FIA, potentially inspiring a wave of women to pursue their dreams in the competitive world of motorsports. Will Laura Villars be the catalyst for change? The answer may soon be revealed in the heart of Uzbekistan.
