Laura Villars
The FIA must once again be the federation of clubs and license holders. My ambition is a governance that is more democratic, more transparent, more responsible, and open to women and new generations.
Laura Villars is the first woman in history to run for the FIA presidency. She will compete against the incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem and former FIA steward Tim Mayer.
