Tim mayer

American Le Mans Series: American motorsport official Tim Mayer has confirmed that he will stand for the presidency of the FIA — motorsport’s global governing body — in this December’s election.

Mayer, 59, will challenge current president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who has been in the role since December 2021.

Mayer’s decision comes less than a year after Ben Sulayem sacked him as a Formula 1 steward.
