The Auto Sports Association writes on its website that President Lars Pettersson resigns with immediate effect.
– Swedish motor sports face many important problems in the future that we must focus on in Sweden. Recent discussions we have had about Swedish motor sports have focused on major future issues, which in the long run are not good for Swedish motor sports or the union. In this context, my decision has grown to resign as president, says Lars Pettersson. to the website of the Motor Sports Association.
On April 15, SVT Sport was able to reveal that the entire meeting of the Motor Sports Association went to San Francisco to see the Indy Car Finals in 2019. The trip went to SEK 300,000 and was funded by members’ money.
Annual budget exceeded SEK 570,000
Local unions demanded that the board resign, and the union auditor does not want to discharge the board.
The reason is the alcohol scores and that the members had to pay for the relatives of the board that accompanied the trip.
“We believe there is a risk that the costs of alcoholic dinners will be disproportionate to the benefit of the members and may also be considered considerable. In view of this, the Board must ensure that there is a representation policy within the organization and that this is taken into account when representation is made “, This was stated in the auditor’s criticism that SVT published yesterday.
The Board, including Secretary General Anna Nordkvist, incurred expenses of more than SEK 40,000 per person during the trip to the United States. Due to costly costs, the Board exceeded its own annual budget by approximately SEK 570,000.
SVT Sport has requested Lars Pettersson, but without success.
