Folks,
As stated by Stephen, I have had a discussion on this with Colin Hilton, Chief Exec of the MSA.
The facts as I have been given them are as follows:-
1. The promoters of the GP are the BRDC
2. The MSA is the organisaing body - they are responsible for getting the volunteer officials etc.
3. The MSA receives NO funding for officials from the FIA
4. The promoters have to PAY the FIA in the region of £100,000 towards the costs of THEIR officials (Don't ask - I have no idea why it is so much)
5. Any deals for overalls etc for other GPs is purely down to whatever commercial arrangement the promoters can come up with.
I hope this lays to rest the rumour machine.
Have a great GP - I will be at Mallory as MSA steward for a BRSCC club race.
Regards
Chris Hobson
National Chairman BMMC
