Is Todt worthy of remaining FIA president?

Spending two days at the FIA's latest sports conference offered an insight into how much progress motorsport's governing body has made under the leadership of Jean Todt

Back in June 2013 the FIA hosted its first sports conference. It convened, fittingly, at Goodwood during the build-up to the Festival of Speed.

The objective was the development and promotion of motorsport in all FIA regions, both topics that were to feature prominently in president Jean Todt's re-election manifesto later that year. It can be no coincidence that the FIA's global membership bought into his vision, and Todt was returned unopposed in October.
