Dec 12 : FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem secured a second four-year term at the helm of motorsport's world governing body unopposed on Friday after potential rivals were unable to stand.

The 64-year-old Emirati, a former rally driver, was the sole candidate put forward at the International Automobile Federation's annual general assembly in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

"Thank you to all our FIA members for voting in remarkable numbers and placing your trust in me once again," he said in a statement.

"We have overcome many obstacles but here today, together, we are stronger than ever."
