Chairman's Chat How expensive can motorsport get ? There is much talk about the mandatory requirement for Frontal Head Restraints for all circuit racing, stage rallying, hill climbs and sprints from 1st January 2016. While competitor safety is obviously paramount this requirement will significantly increase the cost of the sport which may well result in the loss of existing competitors or put off new ones. At a higher level it seems totally wrong to potentially lose the Monza GP because the organisers will not be able to afford the ridiculous fee demanded by Mr Ecclestone. The F1 calendar should include all the classic circuits and not just the ones owned by those who can afford to put vast amounts of money into his huge piggy bank. I have said this before but it‟s time he retired and let someone who has the good of the sport at heart rather than sheer greed.

The BleMCC Non Race/Rally October events (11th October) and the KLMC Lonsdale Belt Road Rally (21st/22nd November) will not be running. Clubs were asked to consider their dates for next year and send them to the Secretary. Alan Shaw is standing down as the Lancashire RLO in November and Chris Woodcock will be taking it on. Thanks to Alan for all his hard work. Chris is happy to accept routes for events from November and into the New Year. Another reminder that organisers need to send their routes to Chris before they go to the MSA and as soon as possible.
