Council position is ‘unchanged’

CHANGE OF GUARD

A spokesperson for Scarborough Council said that it would not be entering into further discussions with PMH Promotions or the Auto 66 Club.

In a statement the council said: “The high-profile, international reputation of the Oliver’s Mount circuit and its value to Scarborough is extremely important to us and we are committed to ensuring that its reputation and racing at the circuit is maintained.

“Continuing our relationship with the Auto 66 Club would not achieve this.

“We have therefore already begun discussions with interested parties, including the ACU, who have shown significant interest in helping us, to ensure high quality and safe racing continues to be delivered at the important and historic venue.”
