Racing circuit bosses are believed to be holding crisis talks at the end of this week to discuss the implications of the Appeal Court’s decision to award damages against Croft Promosport for making a noise.
The Association of Motor Racing Circuit Owners, which includes Donington Park, Brands Hatch and Silverstone, will meet to decide how to proceed, given the legal precedent that has now been set.
The ruling against Croft on Monday morning has opened a massive can of worms and gives anyone who is within earshot of a race track the chance to sue for damages.
This could, of course, prove fatal to not only racing on four wheels and two in the UK, but also to trackday companies and corporate motorsport firms.
