League Notes: Racing Australia Starts Search To Replace CEO Peter McGauran

Racing Australia will look for a senior administrator with "significant racing knowledge and experience" to take over from departing CEO Peter McGauran, "who will not renew his contract when it ends in December." McGauran, a former minister in the Howard Government, "spent four-and-a-half years at the head of Racing Australia as it underwent a name change and took control of the Stud Book and other commercial roles." He "has already accepted another corporate role but will see out his contract." The "front runners for the position" would be Bernard Saundry, who will step down as Racing Victoria CEO in December, and former British Horseracing Authority CEO Paul Bittar (THE AGE, 8/25).

FIM, FIM Europe and Dorna decided to reorganize the structure of the European Road Racing Championship, starting in '17. The European Superbike Championship will be replaced by the European Superstock 1000 class run at WorldSBK. The Moto2 European Championship will remain as part of the FIM CEV Repsol Championship (WorldSBK).
