Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile

Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile

Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA) was the sport governing body for motor racing events, in particular Formula One. The organization's origins dated from 1922, when the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) delegated the organization of automobile racing to the Commission Sportive Internationale (CSI)[1], which lasted until 1978 when Jean-Marie Balestre took over the reins and it was renamed FISA. A restructuring of the FIA in 1993 led to the disappearance of the FISA, putting motor racing under the direct management of the FIA.[2]
