Ah OK - safety grounds.

Had heard that one stretch of the track was running under yellow flags due to the track modifications being under way - sounds as though they've decided that is not satisfactory and withheld the license.

Guess it will soon be resolved - no doubt they'll find a suitable work around to quickly fix that part of the track.

Is that the Gillett who is part owner of Liverpool FC?

Cos if it is he's in trouble money wise.
