Challenges in Cypriot Motorsports: Issues of Recognition and Racing Licenses
September 29, 2025
The future of motorsports in Cyprus is facing serious challenges following the FIA's decision to cancel licenses for Cypriot drivers and label local races as unrecognized. This situation has arisen due to a rift between the Cypriot Automobile Association and the Cypriot Sports Federation, with both parties seeking a solution. The decision has severely impacted Cypriot drivers and led to the cancellation of important events like the Cyprus Rally. Relevant authorities are working to restore Cyprus's international racing status through upcoming negotiations. The sport's future is closely linked to the success of these discussions.
