The third annual FIA Safety Week took place from Tuesday 4 to Saturday 9 February and was the biggest yet, with over 3000 participants from 116 Member Clubs taking part.
Since its first edition in 2023, FIA Safety Week has been focused on maximising accessibility and relevance to members, with topics spanning circuit to road sport, karting to mass-participation disciplines and all the associated FIA regulations and approved medical practices and safety equipment that make these competitions possible.
Over the course of the week, 44 different speakers sparked a huge amount of knowledge-sharing and conversation, with thousands of messages posted in the seminar live chat and over 400 direct questions from the clubs.
Across the FIA’s digital channels, three key areas have been spotlit during safety week, beginning with a deep-dive into how research leads to regulations, and the recent advances made in the FIA World Rally Championship.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: “It is the start of a new year and a new season, but one thing that does not change from year to year is our dedication to improving safety. Since 2023, the FIA Safety Department has made this event so that representatives from our Members can join from all over the world.
“This is an event that produces concrete action – it is organised by the FIA’s operational teams directly for the operational teams of the ASNs. It is incredible how much work goes into improving safety standards, and as we develop new technologies and new ways of working, we must act together to deliver motor sport that is safe for the competitors, the organisers and the fans.”
FIA Chief Technical and Safety Officer, Xavier Mestelan Pinon, said: “It has been another great FIA Safety Week, with content that generated a lot of engagement from the audience, proving the strong interest of our members clubs all over the world in this topic. Every year we work to make this week as practical and relevant to the people on the ground who are working around the clock to keep the motor sport community safe. We are never standing still when it comes to safety, and through safety week we are giving the Clubs the opportunity to talk with us about the newest standards and practices, and ask questions of the global experts.”
