Motorsports French Italian FIA Institute FIA Foundation International Olympic Committee World Health Organization Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development World Tourism Organization UN Environment Programme The World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) is a part of the governance structure of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. It has responsibility for all aspects of international motor sport. It meets at least three times a year to decide on rules, regulations, safety and development of motor sport at every level from karting to Formula One.

The World Motor Sport Council, in its administration of international motor sport, prioritises improvements in safety and environmental standards across all forms of the sport, adopts common regulations across the various series, and nurtures motor sport's roots by developing all forms of the sport, especially among the youth and in developing countries.

The World Motor Sport Council's membership is chosen by the FIA General Assembly, which contains representatives from national motorsport authorities (ASNs) throughout the world. It is one of two FIA World Councils; the other council is responsible for administrating "issues affecting the automobile in society (The World Council for Automobile Mobility and Tourism (WCAMT)).

The World Motor Sport Council meets a minimum of three times a year to consider proposals from specialist FIA Commissions and subsidiaries.
