FIA President Jean Todt brought FIA Sport Conference 2015 in Mexico City to a close by telling delegates that the strength of the FIA lies in the talent within its member clubs.

The President began his closing address by thanking host ASN OMDAI, its President José Abed and FIA Senate member Carlos Slim for bringing the annual conference to Mexico.

He then went on to tell delegates that next year he will celebrate his 50th year in motor sport and that throughout his time as a rally co-driver, at the helm of Peugeot’s rally squad in the 1980s and early ’90s and during his 15 years as Ferrari Team Principal and CEO, the successes he had achieved were thanks to the talent and strength of the teams he had assembled around him. The situation, he added, had been continued during his five years as FIA President and he said that the many successes of the FIA in recent years were founded on the “strength and great talent” lying within the FIA Family.

He concluded by thanking the representatives of the 92 countries in attendance for making the journey to Mexico City for this year’s conference. At Thursday night’s Gala Dinner, the FIA President revealed that next year’s conference will take place in Turin, Italy.
