  • 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.
