The Federação Automotiva Internacional (FAI; Jackian: International Automotive Federation) is an association founded on 18 August, 1952 after the death of King Celestino II with the interests of motoring safety in mind. To the general public, the FAI is mostly known as the governing body for many auto racing events, such as the ever-popular Gran-Prix One. The FAI also promotes road safety around the world.
Headquartered at Praça Celestino, Bicada, with an office in Alessandria, the FAI oversees many forms of motorsport all across the world. The FAI is generally known by its Andaluzian name or initials, even in non-Andaluzian-speaking countries, but it is occasionally rendered as International Automotive Federation.
It's most prominent role is the licensing and sanctioning of Gran-Prix One, Terraconserva Rally Championship, Terraconserva Touring Car Cup, Gran-Prix E, and various other forms of racing. The FAI also certifies land speed record attempts.
