:::There's no definition from the FIA in the International Sporting Code. This gives the individual FIA departments, cups and championships' own regulations freedom to define it for themselves. These are sometimes prepared by the proposing ASN.
:::The Formula Regional World Cup regulations says it awards ''"one title, being the FIA Formula Regional World Cup for drivers"''. It's the only use of the word title in the document. So what do you call the driver who won it? Champion or winner, simply title-holder, or does it not matter? AFAIK, this was written by the FIA circuit racing department.
:::According to the World Rally Championship regs, there are titles awarded including World Rally Champion for Drivers, WRC2 Champion for Co-drivers etc, these make sense as 'titles'; congratulations you are 'world rally champion'. But one title is... WRC Masters Cup. Congratulations, you are the WRC Masters Cup! It doesn't make sense. This will be prepared by the FIA Rally department.
:::According to the regs, the GT World Cup does not have a title or declare itself as one. AFAIK, this was prepared by the Macau ASN and rubber stamped at the FIA.
:::There's no consistency, this is my key point. [[User:Rally Wonk|Rally Wonk]] ([[User talk:Rally Wonk|talk]]) 20:18, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
::I'm not sure I see this precept that Championship wins are titles and Cup wins aren't. For instance, the headline karting competition, the [[FIA Karting World Championship]], is a stand-alone race. [[User:MSport1005|MSport1005]] ([[User talk:MSport1005|talk]]) 19:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
:::A championship can be a stand-alone race. The ''winner'' of the race is awarded the ''title'' of ''champion driver'' amongst awards such as prize money and physical trophies. Traditionally, cup winners didn't get a title, but now they can be called champions, title holders and so on, depending who wrote it and where you look.
