Key Achievements
- ADAC, ACM and MSA were celebrated for their achievements in Climate Action, Road Safety and EDI
First launched in September 2022, the FIA President’s Awards champion the work that FIA Member Clubs do to drive sustainable and measurable change within motor sport and mobility. By celebrating Clubs’ efforts and successes, the Awards aim to promote wider conversation and positive change, ensuring that effective solutions can be recognised and adopted within the FIA community and beyond.
This year marked the second year of the programme. Clubs submitted 44 entries across the three categories – Climate Action, Road Safety and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion – marking a significant increase from year one.
This year’s winners were:
Climate Action: The Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (ADAC – Germany) was granted the Climate Action Award for its “ADAC Pendlernetz – powered by twogo”, a ride-sharing platform designed to reduce traffic and emissions around major sporting events.
Road Safety: The Automobile Club de Moldova (ACM – Moldova) received the Road Safety Award in recognition of their Safer School Zone campaign. The campaign has helped to drive effective policy changes, including mandatory 30km/h speed limits and improved infrastructure around school buildings.
Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion: Motorsport South Africa (MSA – South Africa) was recognised for its motor sport classes initiative, which enables students at Daniel Pienaar Technical High School to learn more about the business and practice of motor sport, either as rally drivers, mechanics, or sport administrators. The programme has succeeded in driving motor sport uptake among girls and children from underrepresented backgrounds.
Winners received €10,000 to support their projects, or other relevant work.
The FIA also established plans for the continued growth of the programme, with a Communications Award set to launch in 2024.
