The following is a summary of the meeting and the main decisions taken:

FIA Formula One World Championship
 
The Council approved a number of changes to the 2020 Technical and Sporting Regulations, including: 

• Wording relating to the sampling and testing of fuel at the events to incorporate reference declarations
• The reinstatement of the chequered flag as the definitive end-of-race signal
• Wording to prevent teams from covering their cars during winter testing, in order to make these events more appealing to the media and fans
• Minor corrections and adjustments to articles in both sets of Regulations

The Council confirmed the appointment of BBS as the single supplier of wheel rims starting in 2021, following its pre-selection on 5 July 2019. A consultation phase with the teams and BBS was conducted under the arbitration of the FIA Technical Department, with some resultant minor changes to the initial specification being approved today.
 
Following the pre-selection of Magneti Marelli for the fuel primer pump, and of Bosch for the high pressure fuel pump and piping by the Council on 30 July 2019, a phase of consultation with the teams, Power Unit manufacturers and the two prospective suppliers was conducted under the arbitration of the FIA Technical Department. Today, the Council proceeded to final appointment of the two suppliers.

FIA World Endurance Championship

Competitors in the Le Mans Hypercar category in the FIA World Endurance Championship must enter a homologated car under the name of an automotive brand.

A personnel limitation has been introduced in the Le Mans Hypercar category, with a maximum of 40 operational staff permitted, or 43 for Competitors entering a car homologated with an ERS.

The nomenclature of World Championship titles is agreed as follows:

• FIA World Endurance Drivers’ Champion (Le Mans Hypercar)
• FIA World Endurance Champion (Le Mans Hypercar)
• FIA World Endurance Drivers’ Champion (Le Mans GTE)
• FIA World Endurance Manufacturers’ Champion (Le Mans GTE)

FIA World Rally Championship
 
Following the confirmation in June of key changes to the FIA WRC regulations for the next era of the competition, the Council has approved the principles of the 2022 Technical Regulations for the Rally1 class (formerly WRC), with the intention to finalise the details in the first quarter of 2020. This includes hybrid technology and the option to use a production-based bodyshell or a tubular structure, in both cases maintaining the current size guidelines, with a system of scaling to allow manufacturers to adapt their rally car from different models.
 
A standardised crash structure, defined by the FIA in close collaboration with the manufacturers thanks to extensive testing on the current WRC cars, will aim to improve safety standards and simplify the development process for the teams. Performance will come from an ICE engine, based on the current specifications but with controlled development costs and supported by a 100kw hybrid emotor. This unit will be the same for each of the teams, using common hardware and software strategies, making the cars capable of running in cities on electric power only and giving them an electric “power boost” that could be deployed on special stages. The aggressive aesthetic of the current WRC cars will be carried over to new generation vehicles.
 
To offer WRC teams more opportunities in the context of their participation, manufacturers are now able to enter an additional one-car team with a separate competitor identity and will not be permitted to score points for the main WRC factory team.
 
FIA World Rallycross Championship
 
The Council approved an 11-round calendar for the 2020 FIA World Rallycross Championship including a return to Germany and for the first time the Nürburgring, where a section of the Grand Prix circuit will be used.
