The Automobile Association of South Africa (AASA) has expressed its concern following yesterday's Extraordinary General Meeting and the vote which saw Max Mosley maintain his position as President.
The AASA Head of Public Affairs, Rob Handfield-Jones, said today: "Autoclub brands are highly respected in all of the countries in which they operate, not least because of their high standards of service, and their values.
"These standards and values should be shared by the FIA and, in particular, its President," he added, "but today's vote of confidence in Mr Mosley does not support the values held by many autoclubs worldwide.
"The AA accordingly distances itself from the outcome of the vote and is now considering how best to manage its relationship with the FIA into the future," he concluded.
