  • Completed Acquisition by Motorsport Vision Ltd of Brands Hatch Circuits Ltd & Brands Hatch Leisure Limited
    Completed acquisition by Motorsport Vision Ltd of Brands Hatch Circuits Ltd & Brands Hatch Leisure Limited The OFT's decision on reference under section 22 (1) given on 24 May 2004 Please note that square brackets indicate actual figures excised at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. PARTIES MotorSport Vision Ltd (MSV) is a new company owned by Roadcoast Ltd, which also owns JPM Ltd. JPM trades as PalmerSport and Bedford Autodrome. It operates almost exclusively in the field of corporate event driving experience days. Brands Hatch Circuits Ltd & Brands Hatch Leisure Ltd (BHCL) was formally part of Octagon Motorsports. In November of 2003 Octagon Motorsports split its five motor racing circuits in to Silverstone Motorsports Limited (Silverstone) and BHCL (Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park and Snetterton). The UK turnover of the assets of BHCL bought by MSV was £18m in the year 2003. TRANSACTION MSV has purchased the four BHCL circuits; various vehicles; and On Track (a track day organiser (TDO)). The administrative deadline is May 24 2004 and the statutory deadline is 8 June 2004. JURISDICTION As a result of this transaction, MSV will supply over 25 per cent of track days for non- club members in the UK. The share of supply test in section 23 of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) is met. A relevant merger situation has been created. RELEVANT MARKET The parties are active in the supply of motorsports activities mainly on their motor- racing circuits. The BHCL circuits are licensed, while MSV’s circuit, Bedford Autodrome is not.1 The parties submit that the only areas of specific overlap are therefore for non- licensed events - the supply of corporate participation days (where companies hire circuits in order to provide motor driving experience days for staff), the supply of track days to final consumers (where circuits are opened to members of the public to drive or hire their own vehicles) and the supply of track time for track days run by TDOs.

  • An Excerpt from Chapter 13 Winning Is Not Enough by Sir Jackie Stewart
    An excerpt from Chapter 13 Winning Is Not Enough by Sir Jackie Stewart “Look,” said Mark, aged six. “There’s Daddy’s autograph.” We didn’t know what he was taking about, but we turned to see our young son was pointing at the instantly recognizable blue oval-shaped emblem of the Ford Motor Company. He had so often seen me wearing racing overalls with the Ford insignia, or appearing at Ford events, or featuring in Ford advertisements that he had grown to assume their logo also represented me. In fact, I was first contracted to the company in 1964 and I would remain so until 2004. First as a racing driver, then a public affairs representative, a sales and marketing spokesman, a vehicle dynamic assessor, a concept design consultant and lastly a strategic adviser in training engineers, my forty years with Ford represented the most significant commercial association of my life. It began in October 1964 when I turned up at the British Motor Show at Earls Court, London, as a young racing driver hoping to make some contacts in the motor industry. These were early days, and I had decided to drive south from Scotland through the night because I didn’t think I could afford to stay in a London hotel. Even so, I had three names written on a scrap of paper—Dick Jefferies from Dunlop, Geoff Murdoch from Esso and Walter Hayes from Ford—and I hoped that if I could meet any of them, they might be able to help develop my career and hopefully improve my financial situation.

  • F1 Circuits Past and Present Silverstone
    F1 Circuits Past and Present ­ Silverstone Hello and welcome to this brand new mini series from Sidepodcast ‐ F1 Circuits Past and Present. As you might imagine, we’ll be taking a closer look at circuits, those that have featured on the calendar for a long time, and those that only had a brief outing. Today, we’re going to begin with the one that started it all ‐ Silverstone. Silverstone Circuit is situated next to the village of the same name in Northamptonshire, England. It is one of the tracks with the longest history associated with Formula 1 as it hosted the very first World Championship race in 1950. However, motor racing had gone on there for several years before. The circuit itself was built on the site of a World War II airfield ‐ RAF Silverstone. The site was opened in the early 40s and featured three runways. Racing enthusiasts gathered to use it as a track towards the end of the decade, and in 1948, the Royal Automobile Club (or RAC) began to rent the site for more organised proceedings. Incidentally, the RAC should not be confused with the UK breakdown recovery service. They used to own that company but no longer. The RAC we are interested in has been organising motor races since before 1950, setting up the first non‐F1 British Grand Prix at Brooklands in the 1920s. The racing at Silverstone initially incorporated the runways as part of the track, and hay bales were used to mark the route. The cross formed by the runways and therefore the track meant that at some stages, the cars were heading straight for each other ‐ not exactly an ideal racing layout.

    500 Owners Association MOTOR SPORT Magazine Clippings - 1940’s Issued: 4th March 2015 Notes on 500 and 500-related references This paper is an attempt to record every single 500-related reference from the entire run of the magazine. It includes articles, references in event reports, For Sale advertisements. It also tries to include details that are relevant to the context of the 500 movement, such as clubs, organisation of the sport, and the development of venues. The only area where it is limited is when covering the careers of 500 drivers before or after their time in the movement Status: All magazines in the time period have been fully catalogued. Notes On : • Magazine issues with no entry & light shading are not available for cataloguing. We would be grateful if you could volunteer to add any missing issues. • Every effort has been made to find references, including references in general and classified advertisements. However, it is quite possible that some may have been missed whether because they are very obscure, apparently irrelevant, or just human error. • Transcription Style: • Text has been transcribed verbatim (including spelling errors), with only modern grammar substituted for contractions (e.g. “S Moss” for “S.Moss”; “ftd” for f.t.d.) • “(sic)” notation may have been used where relevant in text, and is a transcriber’s note rather than the source text. • For longer articles, only pieces of note are transcribed. The ellipsis (“… “) before a sentence indicates that text deemed irrelevant has been skipped (which could run to many paragraphs, e.g. reports of other classes in an event report).
