The '''Grand Prix Manufacturers Association''' ('''GPMA''') was an alliance of car manufacturers that participated in [[Formula One]] formed (like its predecessor [[Grand Prix World Championship|GPWC]]) to act as a tool to assist the companies in bargaining with [[Bernie Ecclestone]] for an agreeable extension to the 1997 [[Concorde Agreement]], the contract by whose terms the teams compete in F1.  It was then superseded by the [[Formula One Teams Association]], founded in 2008, and disbanded in 2014.
