An extraordinary meeting of the Alpe Adria Motorcycle Union (AAMU) Management Board was held on Monday afternoon in the premises of OSK/OEAMTC in Vienna.
AAMU is one of the six Regional Associations of FIM Europe and stages, beside other activities, a most important Road Racing series. AAMU President Luigi Favarato: “There was a need to call for this meeting after the end of the 2015 season in order to shape the future and to fine tune the contractual relation with our promotor “Slovakia Racing”. We all want a solid basis for the years to come and offer our riders a great Road Racing Championship”.
The members of the AAMU Road Racing Commission, including the President Janez Pintar from Slovenia, discussed at length various topics like a professional Race Management system, the number of events, the 2016 calendar, the race schedule for the weekends as well as a number of practical issues. Each event will consist of six classes; at selected venues there will also be Vintage activities. Favarato: “We have been working now since two years with “Slovakia Racing” and I am happy that we will continue. The cooperation with Peter Surina, President of “Slovakia Racing” is very good and I am optimistic for the future. It was good to see that the participants of the meeting were satisfied with the results. Just check our homepage http://www.alpeadriamotorcycleunion.com/ for more information”.
FIM Europe President Dr. Wolfgang Srb, who was invited to attend the meeting as a guest, stated: “The Regional Associations have an important task within FIM Europe. AAMU is responsible for an excellent Road Racing series that enables riders to race at affordable costs at well-known road racing circuits. A Championship with a promotion partner is most common nowadays; for me it is just important that the rights, duties and responsibilities between the National Federations and the promotor are clearly defined. In a nutshell: We, the Federations, are responsible for the sport and we appoint the officials, while the promotor is responsible for the calendar and the promotion. A strong basis of mutual trust and respect is essential and the key for the success”.
