The World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) is a part of the governance structure of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. Its primary role is developing policy for international motorsport, and approving proposed regulations as used in its disciplines and championships such as in Formula One, World Endurance Championship, and World Rally Championship.[1][2][3]

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)).[4][2]

The World Motor Sport Council meets a minimum of three times a year to consider proposals from specialist FIA Commissions and subsidiaries.[2]
