Bill B and List
The FIA consider all their class records as being "International". Because
they are run under rules that most countries (Nation States) of the world
have a representative motor sport body that accepts these rules. In the
USA read ACCUS (not SCTA/BNI or USFRA etc..etc...)
Until the new automobile ruling that Louise told us about, the FIA
recognised just one World record - the ultimate speed record set
regardless of category group or class. This was of course the jet record
of Andy Green in SSC.
So for FIA it is now 2 World Records - the ultimate speed in automobiles
and thrust special vehicles and a whole host of International Class
records.
The FIM recognise all their bike international class records as 'World'
Records as do the UIM (the boat organisation).
Hope that helps.........
