FIA Congress Votes to Approve Statute Changes in Macau

The FIA, the main rule-making body for motor racing, has made some changes to its rules.

A large majority of the members voted for these changes at a meeting in Macau.

The FIA says these changes are meant to improve how it runs things and keep information secret.

One of the changes means people who want to run against the current boss, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, have to announce they want to do that earlier.

Also, the way people are picked to be on the FIA's team has changed, and anyone running for president has to share information to show they are trustworthy.
