Origin In 1974 the Formula One Constructors Association, or FOCA, was founded in order to increase commercial organisation of Formula One for the benefit of the racing teams. In 1978 Bernie Ecclestone became the executive of FOCA and fought the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile or FISA for control of F1 commercial rights.Disputes were settled by March 1981 when the Concorde Agreement gave FOCA the right to negotiate TV contracts. Under previous arrangements, TV contracts were not very lucrative and were risky. When the Concorde Agreement ended in 1987, Bernie Ecclestone ceased being a team owner and established the Formula One Promotions and Administration, or FOPA, to manage TV rights for the teams. FOPA would later become known as Formula One Management. FOPA received 23% of TV revenues, 47% went to the teams, and 30% to the FIA. FOPA, however, received all the fees paid by promoters. In exchange for this FOPA paid prize money to the teams. 1974 is a common year starting on Tuesday (click on link for calendar). ...

Past In 1995 the FIA decided to grant the commercial rights to F1 to Formula One Administration (managed by FOM) for a 14 year period. In exchange, Ecclestone would provide an annual payment. With FOM having exclusive rights to popular team names like Team McLaren, WilliamsF1, and Tyrell Formula One, the aforementioned teams protested by rejecting the following Concorde Agreement in 1997. Team McLaren, WilliamsF1, Scuderia Ferrari and Renault F1 formed GPWC Holdings and threaten to form a rival racing franchise in 2008 when their current contract ends in 2007. In 1999 financial assistance to FOM was cancelled in light of a European Commission investigation. Ecclestone issued a $1.4 billion Eurobond secured on the company's future profits. 1995 was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Three banks currently own 75% SLEC Holdings, which nominally controls Formula One Holdings and hence FOM. The banks' shareholdings are a legacy of the collapse of the Kirch Media company. Kirch spent heavily on both Formula One and World Cup rights with the aim of generating a large income stream, however the expenditure lead to bankruptcy. The banks, acting as creditors, took control of Kirch's share of SLEC Holdings as a way of recouping some of the money that was owed to them. However this control has not been translated into a similar control of Formula One Holdings or its operating companies; in particular Formula One Management, which is responsible for the day to day running of the commercial side of Formula One.

Due to the lack of control the shareholdings gave the three banks they (as Speed Investments) brought a case in the High Court of of England and Wales in which FOH was named as the defendant. The case will be heard in London's High Court 59 to determine whether Bernie Ecclestone maintains control of F1 and its hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenues for well over 20 years. If the outcome is unfavourable to Ecclestone, his management status will steadily be relinquished to the trio of banks and a group of carmakers dissatisfied with his methods of management. There is even a possibility of F1 splitting into two rival championships. A possible replacement for Ecclestone as acting president of FOM mentioned is Marco Piccinini.
