Well, Totto, it is called a motor race! Yes it is true that former FIA race director Michael Masi is set for his return to motorsport as the new chairman of the Supercars Commission in his native Australia.
In July, the FIA confirmed that Masi had left the organisation and the Australian later revealed he was subjected to death threats in the wake of last year’s season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Masi is now set to take over from former driver and commentator Neil Crompton as the chairman of the Supercars Commission in his homeland, after the former chair resigned earlier in the summer.
Whilst it is mere speculation at present, a Supercars spokesperson clarified the situation: “No decision has been made and discussions are continuing on confirming a new chair for the commission.”
Prior to joining the FIA four years ago as Charlie Whiting’s second in command, the Australian now needs approval from all 11 team owners and it is understood that this process is taking place at the Sandown SuperSprint this weekend.
