Issue statement listing chargesThe political storm surrounding a controversial podium ceremony at last Sunday's Turkish Grand Prix took a turn for the worse on Thursday, with the FIA summoning race officials to a special meeting of the World Motor Sport Council.
The
hearing is to take place in Paris on September 19th, a statement issued by the governing body said.
Turkey's national sporting authority, TOSFED, and organisers of the Grand Prix itself, are to 'hear charges that they have acted in breach of FIA Statutes, the International Sporting Code and the 2006 Formula One Sporting Regulations', the FIA added.
The ultimate sanction would be exclusion from not only the 2007 calendar, but also from the FIA umbrella, meaning that the country's World Rally event is also in danger.
