racers and royals Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Interesting article in this weeks Star with the information that Torben Olsen is moving across to the IMG rallycross series, which is very much what Paul Bellamy did in 2015. Reading the article it appears that Paul has been promoted ? and now is overseeing the Speedway division as well as the Rallycross. Wonder who is in the frame to replace Torben as Managing Director Speedway. Edited March 8, 2019 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 PAUL Bellamy replaced Rob Armstrong (who initiated the purchase of the SGP/SWC commercial rights from John Postlethwaite) as Senior Vice President of motorsports at IMG when Rob left some time ago. Torben then took over as Managing Director of BSI Speedway. Paul remained as Torben's boss while holding the reins of the World Rallycross series.

Included negotiating all the deals with tracks and promoters and so on. I didn't apply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f-s-p Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just now, racers and royals said: Overqualified You're correct 100 %. And it was a fair bit of travel involved, not my thing for the next few years. Just that I'm overqualified on the speedway side. But it would probably be better for the next MDS who's gonna re-negotiate the deals with the Polish cities and make it happen in Australia to not no bugger all about the situation...

I cannot find anything to say Rob Armstrong has left IMG ? - Paul Bellamy replaced Martin Anayi when Bellamy joined Rallycross reporting to Armstrong.

ROB left about two years ago. Now has his own consultancy business and has recently been joined by Nicola Sands, former Media Manager at BSI.
