Formula One Promoters Association created
The circuits o🔯n the F1 calendar have come together to give themselves a great say in the future of the sport.
According to reports by British newspaper, The Indepedent, the Formula One Promoters Associa💙tion (FOPA) was registered as a company in Geneva, Switzerland in May, with Ron Walker, chairman of the Australian Grand Prix, listed as the chairman.
"We haveꦜ historically lacked a co-ordinated voice and the Formula One Promoters Association gives us the opportunity to have that," Silverstone's chairman, Neil England explained to the 'paper.
"There are a number of matters of common interest and I think it is important t💎hat those are voiced."
Walker add🧸ed that the circuits can "use the association to lodge their proxies to vote on major issues affecting the sport."
FOPA is expected to work in a similar fashion to FOTA (the Formula One Teams Association) and the GPDA (Grand Prix Drivers' Association), which obviously speak resp🥃ectively for the F1 teams and driverജs - although FOTA now only represents seven of the twelve teams.
