FIA Press Delegate Jonathan Reeves

FIA Press Delegate Jonathan Reeves

27. February 2008At the beginning of the FIA European Truck Racing Championship season 2008 Jonathan Reeves was appointed FIA press delegate. This is practically the same work the British journalist had always been doing as FIA coordinator. But last year these tasks were devolved unto other FIA employees and appointees – as a sort of sideline, so to speak. As a result a lot went wrong, and – not only on this website – there was a constant solicitation to reemploy somebody who is solely responsible for this matter. In future Reeves will again attend to the calculation of the points and will take care that always those people are on the podium who rightfully belong there. Last year this matter rested on the organizers; the problems arising from that were described here explicitly. Naturally, public relations belong to his scope of duties, too. Applications for accreditations, however, must principally be addressed to the local organizers.
Each truck racing event and circuit will now be evaluated by Reeves on the basis of a preset questionnaire. And it would be desirable that in those cases where the lack is particularly grave, the FIA will insist on remedial action.
