history

In 1922 the Commission Sportive Internationale (CSI) was founded by the then FIA predecessor Association Internationale des Automobile Club Reconnus (AIACR) and renamed FISA in 1970. In 1993 FISA lost its independence and was incorporated into the FIA.

The organization, under its then President Jean-Marie Balestre , fought a bitter power struggle with the Formula 1 teams and Bernie Ecclestone , the head of the FOCA team, from the end of the 1970s to the mid-1980s . His lawyer Max Mosley was able to prevail against Balestre, then became the new President of FISA and was President of the FIA ​​until October 2009.
