Delegates from North, South, and Central America and the Caribbean gathered in Lima, Peru for this year’s American Congress.  

The three-day event brought together sport and mobility Clubs for discussions on a diverse range of subjects including creating value within the Member Club ecosystem, building strategic partnerships, and Motorsport in a Box, with the first box unveiled by Bahamas Motor Sports Assocation.   

The FIA also hosted presentations from FIA Region III and IV Innovation Challenge Finalists, and a prize giving for the José Abed award. TACP received the prize, with Jorge Abed in attendance.  

Delegates also made the most of social events, including a Welcome Cocktail, and an anniversary dinner to celebrate 100 years of TACP. Automóvil Club Argentino and Touring y Automovil Club Paraguayo also marked their anniversaries during the event. 

During the week-long event, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem met with Mrs Dina Boluarte, the President of Peru and Mr Raúl Pérez-Reyes, the Minister for Transport and Communications, to discuss road safety, sustainability and the development of motor sport in the region. 

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: “This week’s Conference represented a key opportunity to drive change and opportunity within the Americas. I was inspired to see the enthusiasm and engagement of our delegates, and I look forward to a number of projects and initiatives which were presented in Lima develop in the future.” 

The final Regional Congress will be held in September in Cebu, the Phillipines.
