Cronje loses rally title in court
Written by sw   
Friday, 25 November 2011 20:01

Mark Cronje is no longer the 2011 national rally champion. After a rather bizarre series of protests and appeals, the title has gone to Conrad Rautenbach.

Rautenbach retired from the Gauteng Rally in June. He was also subsequently excluded for reconnoitring a stage. Toyota's Johnny Gemmell was given the same penalty.

Rautenbach then appealed the entire event on the grounds that it was badly organised and many competitors gained an unfair advantage by taking shortcuts which was even encouraged in the provided pace notes.

The National Court of Appeal found that the general event organisation, organisational deficiencies and shortcutting were grounds that the event should be declared null and void and no competitor should score any points.

As a result, by protesting an event he didn't finish, Rautenbach ends up as champion ...... Rules allow each competitor to drop their worst score of the season, and a disqualification cannot be be dropped. That meant Rautenbach had to drop a good points haul and if he'd been able to drop the Gauteng Rally he still would have been champion.

Street race planned for Durban?

It seems as though a round of next year's Wesbank Super Series could be in the streets of Durban in June.

Details are sketchy but it appears this will not be the old A1GP course although it will incorporate some of the roads used. The race is likely to be based at the Moses Mabhida stadium which was earmarked as a venue for a round of the FIA GT championship last year.

MSA warns of consequences
Written by sw   
Saturday, 19 November 2011 14:53

Motorsport South Africa issued a statement regarding the judgement handed down on Friday.

CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL SPORT
 
Motorsport South Africa has with concern taken note of the judgment handed down today in the North Gauteng High Court in the dispute between it and World of Motorsport ZA.
 
In particular the judgment in respect of the constitutionality and/or enforceability of section 1 of the National Sport and Recreation Act appears to be problematical and may likely have unintended and far reaching consequences not only for motorsport, but for all National Federations seized with the administration and control of particular sporting codes.
 
The typed transcript of the judgment is expected during the course of next week, whereupon Motorsport South Africa shall consider its position with regard to an appeal against the judgment.

MSA loses bid to stop WOMZA

Friday, 18 November 2011 11:06

Motorsport South Africa has lost its bid to stop World of Motorsport ZA (WOMZA), Spedeworth and Polokwane Raceway from organising and promoting motorsport events in South Africa.

The case was heard in the Pretoria High Court earlier this week with findings made known this morning. MSA is to pay the respondents costs as well as the costs of two counsel.

According to our source MSA intends to appeal the decision.

We are still in the dark as to how this will affect competitors who compete in non-MSA sanctioned events.
