This has so much potential, I'm so eager to learn more about it, hopefully this doesn't disappear on us for months like other things have!
What phenomenal news on the basis of things though, just wow.
Yes, most everything big is really.

Technically it is but most likely would require a separate license as it is individually contracted out.

So wich track is the one in the picture.
Just in case some people don't know : FIA Championship : F1/Karting/WRC/Rallycross/WEC and WTCC : So much possibilities 
Also, for the tracks, does that mean that 4 tracks are laser scanned? I mean by this sentence : "has been granted an FIA certification for four of the game’s world-famous tracks. The virtual circuits in Gran Turismo have been recreated in intricate detail. The track inspection for each was conducted by FIA officials who visited PDI’s development studio in Tokyo, where Gran Turismo 6 track models were accurately compared to FIA standards"

Yes, PD's been laser scanning their recent tracks, and not just the four. Most of the new tracks in GT6 were laser scanned.
Not in terms of licensing, no. That is FOM. FIA organise and run many racing series but they don't necessarily have any licensing rights over anything but the name.

Pretty much all international auto racing is under FIA or partnered with FIA as many of the worlds courses are part of FIA. Well I believe that FIA is a multinational sanctioning body for racing, the worlds biggest races are under their care or partnered somehow with them and other regulatory bodies.
I'll be researching this, be back with a more well put together reply.

I'm rather confused about this. Before I jump into the 'hopeless speculation' train, I first need to know what it means in which they don't explain too well. What does this partnership mean, approved tracks by FIA? That's cool and all, but what if that's it?

This could be the greatest development in console racing history for the next 20 years. Or it could only be a nice decal that goes on the outside of the box.
Hopefully it will mean more content resulting from the added ease of access.
Could be that the FIA designation for the cars could allow for licensing loopholes. IE, all GT3 cars regardless of make. Same for the possibilities of F1.
Either way though, doubtful much of this will come to fruition for many months.

This could make things much easier for PD licensing wise. And of course more tracks, all the tracks.

For all you skeptics out there, rather than looking at the glass half empty, why not look at it half full? Sure, it could lead to nowhere and just have the fancy FIA label, but it could also lead to something huge! The partnership is just a step in the door. What other dev can say the same thing?
The fact that the FIA is forming a partnership with a damn VIDEO GAME company is a milestone!

well before i go really crazy with this, isn't Formula 1 controlled by the FOM (Formula One Management)?
EDIT: well it looks like my question has been answered. thank you GTPlanet
Hopefully that means more race tracks & real tracks to be added to GT6, as well as real race elements such as opponents who drive at a decent pace and are aware of other cars, damage, fuel/tire wear, qualifying, and standing starts.
However, 2015 seems a bit late for the online championship, considering GT6 has been available since last year on PS3.

Atleast this could mean more GT3.
