BMW Sauber F1 Team. Formula One Teams Association. Association of auto racing teams Formula One portal The Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) was a group of Formula One teams that formed at a meeting in Maranello on 29 July 2008.[1] The organisation was formed to give the teams a united voice in negotiations with the FIA and the Formula One Group regarding the future of Formula One.
Initially led by Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo, FOTA's original aim was to negotiate the terms of the new Concorde Agreement, the commercial contract which governs the championship. A proposed budget cap for the 2010 season led to the FIA–FOTA dispute, which saw a number of Formula One teams rejecting the new regulations and threatening to establish a new racing series. In May 2009, the FOTA teams announced their intention not to sign up for the 2010 championship until the FIA agreed to change the proposed regulations.
In February 2014 it was announced that FOTA had been disbanded. . ^ "Formation of FOTA".
