In a shocking turn of events, the FIA’s credibility is hanging by a thread as a new attack on Ben Sulayem’s plans warns of a ‘dark period’ for the governing body. The proposed changes to the statutes have sparked controversy ahead of the FIA General Assembly meeting in Macau.

The proposed revisions include barring potential FIA presidential candidates with questionable records, increasing the president’s power, and altering the composition of the World Motor Sport Council. The Austrian OAMTC, a founding member club, has sent a dire warning to FIA members about the potential consequences of supporting these changes.

According to the OAMTC, the FIA’s credibility has already been tarnished by governance missteps and failings. Concerns have been raised about the suppression of dissent and the lack of internal debate within the governing body. The OAMTC fears that the proposed changes could benefit the current administration rather than the FIA as a whole.

The FIA President, Ben Sulayem, argues that the changes aim to strengthen the governing body. However, critics, including the OAMTC, are not convinced. The OAMTC urges members to either vote against the changes or request more time for thorough analysis.

The proposed changes have raised questions about governance standards within the FIA and the potential impact on the upcoming election cycle. The OAMTC’s letter highlights the risks associated with pushing through changes that could further erode the FIA’s reputation for good governance.

As the FIA faces growing internal dissent and external scrutiny, the future of the governing body hangs in the balance. With the stakes higher than ever, FIA members must carefully consider the implications of the proposed changes on the organization’s integrity and reputation.
