IOTA has held talks with Bermuda’s Premier, Dr. Ewart Brown, to discuss the feasibility of holding a round of the Championship in Bermuda in 2010. 

IOTA General Secretary, Marco Sala, and Operations Director, Pasquale Sesana, were invited by Karl Outerbridge – owner of OTBT – to visit the islands last week for a series of preliminary meetings with Premier Brown and officials, to present the Championship and to see if the necessary infrastructures were in place to stage a Class 1 Grand Prix.  “The aim of the visit was to see if the conditions exist to bring Class 1 to Bermuda,” said Sala.

“We have presented the Championship and its requirements in detail to the Bermudan Authorities.  Now we must wait and see if they are in a position to realise their ambition of hosting a Class 1 event.”
