11726-527: The general running of each event. In Formula One, this led to tension between the teams, which formed themselves into the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA) founded in 1974, event organisers and the CSI. The FIA and CSI were largely amateur organisations, and FOCA under the control of Bernie Ecclestone began to take charge of various aspects of organising the events, as well as setting terms with race organisers for

13585-459: The new agreement. The new Concorde Agreement seeks to protect the value of the incumbent teams, by requiring new entrants to pay 200 million dollars up front, shared equally among 10 existing teams, in exchange for having the right of revenue share in its first year of competition.

The prancing horse blazon first appeared at

13871-495: The objective to beat Ferrari in this category of races. The Ford GT40 was born and developed in the years following that initiative.

14300-491: The proposed Concorde Agreement (negotiations for which started as early as 1993). Ken Tyrrell in particular was enraged by the fact that Ecclestone, as the president of FOCA, had negotiated the transfer of the rights from the current organization to his own company. Tyrrell also objected the addendum to the Agreement being secret, arguing that secrecy surrounding the agreement would have only benefitted Ecclestone (by weakening

14443-544: The qualifications for a 'Concorde' Agreement, as it is not a collective agreement among the parties involved. Rather, it is a series of individual bilateral agreements between Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Group and all other parties involved being FIA and the individual Formula One teams. In October 2012, Bernie Ecclestone indicated that he already had agreements with all teams for the 2013-2020 period. However, this list did not yet include Marussia. The Marussia Formula One Team did manage to sign its own bilateral agreement with

15158-486: The same series. Following the demise of the GT Championship and the creation of a new world championship series for endurance racing by the FIA, Ferrari/AF Corse continued to enjoy much success in GT racing.

15587-603: The sport, particularly in Formula One which led to a dispute with participants known as the FISA–FOCA war . Balestre later took presidency of the FIA in 1985, managing presidencies of both federations simultaneously. He lost the FISA presidency in 1991, and the FIA presidency in 1993, to Max Mosley on both occasions. It was clear to both Balestre and Mosley, and agreed by the FIA General Assembly upon proposition that there

15730-505: The sport, so Ecclestone organized a meeting with all team managers, Balestre, and other FISA representatives at the FIA headquarters in Place de la Concorde , Paris , France .

16016-512: The success of certain championships. The FIA could no longer prevent non-FIA administered events from being established, neither could it use its powers to prevent competition to Formula One. Ecclestone and FOA would no longer handle the commercial rights to other motorsport events outside of Formula One.

16302-592: The teams who withdrew from the event, but later cleared the teams of any wrongdoing. In 2007 and 2008 the FIA was criticised on two issues. The 2007 Formula One espionage controversy involved accusations against McLaren, who were accused of stealing technological secrets from Ferrari. Commenting on how the FIA handled the situation, Martin Brundle wrote a column in The Sunday Times titled "Witch-hunt threatens to spoil world title race" in which he accused

16445-460: The teams, and 50% to the FIA. FOPA also received all the fees paid by promoters and paid prize money to the teams. The third Concorde Agreement covered the 1992 to 1996 seasons.

He arranged that his business partner Paddy McNally , who was proficient in French, should negotiate

16588-532: The teams. In 1979, the Commission Sportive Internationale , a subordinate organization of the FIA , which was at that time the rule-making body for Formula One, was dissolved.

FISA clashed repeatedly with the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA), which represented the teams' interests. FOCA's chief executive at

16731-502: The technical regulations. Team orders have proven controversial at several points in Ferrari's history. At the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix , the two Ferraris were leading with Gilles Villeneuve ahead of Didier Pironi .

During the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix weekend, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff declared his dissatisfaction with

17160-437: The threat, but the breakaway series would resurface during each dispute between the FIA, teams and the Formula One Group. The FIA's handling of the tyre situation at the 2005 United States Grand Prix was criticised. Mosley had refused any modification to the circuit or the holding of a non-championship event in place of the Grand Prix, having stated that running on an untested circuit was unsafe. The FIA also threatened to punish

17303-437: The time was Bernie Ecclestone and his legal advisor was Max Mosley , while the president of FISA was Jean Marie Balestre . The two organizations' disagreements, which came to be known as the FISA–FOCA war , resulted in several races being cancelled, or declared non-valid (e.g. the 1980 Spanish Grand Prix ). Goodyear threatened to withdraw entirely from Formula One, an event which would have been commercially disastrous for

In 1953, with the creation of the WSC, Ferrari, along with other manufacturers like Aston Martin , Maserati , Mercedes-Benz , and Jaguar began to enter multiple factory-backed cars in races, such as

17589-520: The world championship began. Ferrari produces engines for its own Formula One cars and has supplied engines to other teams.

Among the victories in prestigious racing events are the two GT2 class wins scored at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2008 and 2009 by Risi Competizione and the four GTE Pro class wins scored by AF Corse at the same event: in 2012 and 2014 with the Ferrari 458 GT2 driven by Gianmaria Bruni , Giancarlo Fisichella , and Toni Vilander ; in 2019 with the Ferrari 488 GTE Ferrari 488 GTE driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi , James Calado , and Daniel Serra ; and in 2021 with

17875-414: Was able to contend the Formula One title already from the 1974 season and then went on to win several titles in the following years. After Ferrari withdrawal from the WSC, the series soon saw a decline in the level of competition and reduced almost to a one-contender show until the 1987 season, when several manufacturers entered the championship again. Since the 1985 season, the championship was declassed to

18018-464: Was achieved with the 2-litre Ferrari 166 MM against larger engined sports cars and already known marques.

18304-406: Was closed in 2001 after the FIA and FOA agreed to a number of conditions. In order to fairly regulate all international motorsport, the FIA agreed to limit its role to that of a sporting regulator, and would sell the commercial rights to its championships, including Formula One. This was to prevent a conflict of interest between the FIA's regulatory role and any commercial advantages it may gain from

18447-532: Was dismissed by Alfa in 1939. In October 1939, Enzo Ferrari left Alfa when the racing activity stopped and founded Auto Avio Costruzioni Ferrari, which also manufactured machine tools.

In the winter of 1939–1940, Ferrari started work on a racecar of his own, the Tipo 815 (eight cylinders, 1.5 L displacement). The 815s, designed by Alberto Massimino , were thus

19591-578: Was set up in 2006 by the FIA Foundation, targeting the creation of safe roads across the world. Critics see it as a tool of the motor industry to increase the acceptability of car-based traffic solutions while blocking alternatives.
