Formula One Promoters Association created
The circuits on the F1 calendarꦇ 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 Association (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 have 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 inℱterest and I think it is important that those are voiced."
Walker added 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 respectively for the F1 teams and drivers - although FꦅOTA now only represents seven of the twelve teams.
