Formula One Promoters Association created

FOPA to give the circuits a 'co-ordinated voice'

The circuits on the🌠 F1 calendar have come togeth🅺er to give themselves a great say in the future of the sport.

According to reports by British newspaper, The Indepedent, the Formula One Promoters A෴ꦕssociation (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 an🅰d the Formula One Promoters Association gives us the opportunity to have that," Silverstone's chairman, Neil England explained to the 'paper.

"There are a numbe🥃r of matters of common intere𝔉st and I think it is important that those are voiced."

Walker addꦡed𒉰 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 Teꦏams Association) and the GPDA (Grand Prix Drivers' Association), which obviously speak respectively for the F1 teams and drivers - 😼although FOTA now only represents seven of the twelve teams.
