  The FIA Founding Members’ Club (FMC), which brings together the 13 pioneering Clubs that originally created the Federation, safeguards the FIA’s history and ensures that more than a century of legacy and values continue to guide its future.

  In 2024, marking the FIA’s 120 th anniversary, the FMC created a new award, the Heritage Promotion Cup, to recognise a person or project that has raised awareness of automotive heritage among the global public.

  Nominated by FIA Member Club the Automóvil Club Argentino (ACA), Museo Fangio received the 2025 award for its exemplary curation, educational outreach, and its sustained efforts to inspire future generations through innovation, storytelling, and community engagement.

  The recognition celebrates the museum’s commitment to preserving, promoting, and sharing the cultural and sporting legacy of legendary five-time FIA Formula One World Champion, Juan Manuel Fangio, as well as its ongoing contributions to global automotive legacy.

  FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: “My congratulations to Museo Fangio, who are so deserving of this recognition. The work they do to raise awareness and safeguard the heritage of this remarkable sporting legacy is superb, and it continues to inspire new generations around the world.”

  Juan Martín Burgués, Treasurer at Museo Fangio said, “We are deeply grateful to receive this award as recognition of the vision Juan Manuel Fangio entrusted to us, to protect his legacy. As we look ahead to our 40 th anniversary, we hope to keep innovating, educating, and building bridges between generations, so that his story continues to inspireall who encounter it.”

  Yann de Pontbriand, President of the FIA Founding Members’ Club said, “Automotive legacy is built not only on great machines and great champions, but also on the passion of the people and institutions who keep these stories alive. “Museo Fangio demonstrates that heritage is not something simply to be admired from afar and left in the past, but something to be celebrated, protected, and passed forward.”

  Located in Balcarce, Argentina, the birthplace of Juan Manuel Fangio, the museum has established collaborations with organisations including the Automóvil Club Argentino (ACA) and international museums and motor sport organisations to strengthen his enduring legacy.

  Cesar Carman, President of ACA said, “We are delighted to see the commitment of our nominee Museo Fangio being recognised amongst all the FIA Member Clubs present at the General Assemblies week in Tashkent. We would like to send our congratulations and our thanks to everyone at Museo Fangio for your tireless work protecting motor sport’s and Argentina’s heritage.”

  The FMC Heritage Promotion Cup forms part of the FIA’s wider work to preserve motor sport and mobility history around the world. The Federation’s International Historical Commission (CHI) carries out extensive advocacy work to ensure the ongoing preservation and promotion of automotive heritage around the world.
