Der ADAC e.V. München hat vorsorglich und fristgerecht bedeutende internationale Motorsportveranstaltungen zum 31 Juli 2012 bei der internationalen Automobilbehörde FIA in Paris angemeldet. Dazu gehören ein DTM-Lauf, capsule das ADAC GT Masters, generic der ADAC Truck-Grand-Prix und das ADAC 24h-Rennen.

“Auch wenn die Situation am Nürburgring weiterhin ungeklärt ist, capsule haben wir im Sinne des Sports die Rennen mit internationalem Prädikat vorsorglich und fristgerecht bei der FIA angemeldet. So stellen wir zumindest formal sicher, dass auch 2013 Rennen von weltweiter Bedeutung in Deutschland stattfinden können. Ob diese allerdings am Nürburgring ausgetragen werden, ist weiterhin noch fraglich”, erklärt ADAC Sportpräsident Hermann Tomczyk. “Sollten Ministerpräsident Kurt Beck und Infrastrukturminister Roger Lewentz nicht schnell eine Lösung im Hinblick auf die bindende Bestätigung der Veranstaltungstermine 2013 und bezüglich des Abschlusses der Veranstaltungsverträge finden, dann könnten die Rennen auch auf anderen Rennstrecken ausgetragen werden.”

Durch die ungeklärte Situation am Nürburgring, Vertragsstreitigkeiten zwischen dem Land Rheinland-Pfalz und den bisherigen Pächtern des Nürburgrings sowie die Insolvenz der Nürburgring GmbH hat der ADAC weiterhin keinen Ansprechpartner, mit dem über Austragung von Rennen für das Jahr 2013 auf dem Nürburgring gesprochen werden kann. Daher hat die ADAC Zentrale in München die Anmeldung der internationalen Automobilprädikate übernommen. Ungeachtet dessen läuft die Zeit ab. Der ADAC in München, wie auch der ADAC Nordrhein und der ADAC Mittelrhein brauchen dringend einen kompetenten und entscheidungsbefugten Ansprechpartner, der dann für die notwendige Rechts- und Vertragssicherheit sorgen kann. 

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has revealed Barcelona and Valencia have agreed in principle to alternate their Grand Prix races so there is only one event in Spain each year from 2013.

The world economic crisis has bitten hard in Spain, where local administrations are under pressure to make deep budget cuts as part of a new central government austerity drive.

“Barcelona and Valencia have agreed that the best thing is to alternate and now we are trying to decide on the dates,” Ecclestone told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

“It’s simply a way for us to try and help Valencia and if by alternating with Barcelona it helps them, then it’s a good solution.

“Obviously, the year Valencia does not host the event it would not have to pay anything.”

Local media reported Valencia had been the most reluctant to agree the changes and Vicente Aguilera, the president of Barcelona’s Montmelo circuit, said negotiations were ongoing.

“We are negotiating and we have a positive attitude,” he told sports daily Marca.

“In part because Bernie thinks it is a good idea, and also because we have to find something that is sustainable for the country.

“At this moment nothing is agreed. We are negotiating and there has to be a three-way agreement.”

Ecclestone assured that this year’s Spanish Grand Prix on May 13 in Barcelona and Valencia’s European Grand Prix on June 24th would go ahead as scheduled.

Giles Clarke, chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board has suggested total vigilance is needed in the sport as cricket attempts to rid itself of continuing corruption.

Clarke is under the impression players should make use of the system now in place to alert the game’s authorities to any attempts to fix any part of the game.

In the aftermath of jailing of three Pakistan Test players and after former Essex player Mervyn Westfield this week admitted accepting £6,000 to spot-fix a match between his county and Durham, Clarke believes efforts should be renewed.

Westfield is to be sentenced on February 10 and the ECB has opened what it calls a reporting window to allow players and officials to give information on past approaches without fear of punishment.

“For all of us in cricket we are now having to come to terms with anything being feasible. The need for being vigilant is total,” said Clarke on BBC Radio Five.

Clarke was adamant corruption should not be allowed in the sport.

He added: “It can’t be allowed to exist in our game. It is so important that this system of informing and saying what is going on, when it is not allowed and it is illegal, actually exists.”

Clarke admitted there might have been a perception that corruption did not exist in the County Championship game.

“I think that many players simply might not have thought seriously about something because they wouldn’t have regarded it as real.”

Clarke added that the ECB would not take any action against Westfield until after he had been sentenced by the judge sitting in his case at the Old Bailey.
