RFEDA Concludes Probe Into 10-Year-Old Gonzalo Basurto's Fatal Accident

The Spanish Motorsports Federation (RFEDA) concluded in its study of 10-year-old Gonzalo Basurto's fatal accident that "there was nothing irregular on the track," according to Miguel Sanz of MARCA. The RFEDA "also made a joint decision with Fernando Alonso to create an institute for the development of safety in karting, which will be named after Basurto." As a result of the investigation, the second event on the Championship of Spain calendar from May 5-7, which the RFEDA had delayed, will now take place as scheduled (MARCA, 4/27).

GOVERNMENT ORDER: The EFE reported the Jerez, Spain, City Council decided to "urge MotoGP organizer Dorna to eliminate practices that use a woman's body as an 'ornament or decoration' to 'capture the public's attention' at events that the circuit promotes" (EFE, 4/27).
