Briatore goes to court

October 21, 2009 - 0:0

Former Renault boss Flavio Briatore will challenge his lifetime ban from motor racing on November 24 in the French courts.

Briatore's application against motor racing's governing body, the FIA, was considered at a preliminary hearing at the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris on Monday and the court deemed the matter worthy of a hearing.
Briatore will bid to get his lifetime ban overturned and seek damages from the FIA at the hearing.
Meanwhile, the Football League plan to await the outcome of the hearing before taking any action themselves.
The Italian is a co-owner of Championship club QPR.
