Containment: automobile competitions in France impacted?

Another U-turn? Since a few weeks, exchanges between the FFSA and the Ministry of Sports had enabled positive developments on the subject of the organization of automobile competitions in France. The FFSA GT and the French Rally Championship notably had the green light.

But the announcements by Prime Minister Jean Castex on Thursday change the situation. “The government measures announced last night by the Prime Minister are likely to suspend, to date, the hoped-for developments” indicates the FFSA.

“It emerges from Jean Castex's intervention that the territorialized case-by-case strategy requires organizers to get closer to their Prefecture in order to obtain concrete elements depending on the local context. It is clear that it is the Prefects who decide on the organization of the competitions. These decisions are made Prefecture by Prefecture and territory by territory. »

The FFSA will communicate details of the government measures applicable to motorsport in the coming days.
