Laywers to study Skaife paperwork
March 12, 2007
THE future looked bleak for V8 Supercars driver and Holden Racing Team owner Mark Skaife tonight as the wrangle over his team ownership continued.
Skaife met a deadline imposed by the Touring Car Entrants Group (TEGA), the governing body for the V8 Supercar Championship teams, to supply documentation.
But a TEGA spokesman said the organisation had decided to take legal advice on the situation and announce a decision before the next round of the championship, due to commence in Perth on Friday week.
If TEGA is not satisfied, HRT will be booted from the championship.
TEGA has been concerned about cooperation between HRT and HSV Dealer Team, as well as the involvement of the previous owner of both teams Tom Walkinshaw.
Rules prohibit cross ownership or control of more than one team.
"As much as we would have hoped to have a decision today, the complexity of the issue remains such that it will take time to dissect the documents and determine whether they are in order or not," TEGA chairman Kelvin O'Reilly said today.
"Paperwork has been lodged but that doesn't mean that it complies, that is for TEGA to ultimately decide."
Last month TEGA threatened to revoke the licences of HRT ? featuring drivers Skaife and Todd Kelly ? and HSV Dealer Team ? boasting reigning champion Rick Kelly and Garth Tander ? if requests for clarification of ownership and control were not met.
HSV Dealer owners John and Margaret Kelly ? the parents of drivers Todd and Rick ? were able to prove compliance before the February deadline.
Skaife failed but was handed a two-week reprieve which enabled he and team-mate Todd Kelly to contest the season-opening Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.
Todd Kelly came out of the weekend leading the championship, with younger brother Rick second.
