The FIA Foundation participated in the virtual International Council of Motorsport Sciences (ICMS) AGM, which showcased the work of a number of FIA Foundation-funded motorsport safety programmes.

The ICMS convenes global experts to share the latest innovations in motor sport safety in the medical, scientific, sanctioning body, and race car constructor communities in which FIA Foundation’s Motor Sport Safety Adviser, Will Phillips, participated.
