Mosley is standing firm in the face of demands from some of the sport's leading and most influential car manufacturers
BMW, Mercedes-Benz,
Toyota and
Honda to re-consider his position. He has come in for a barrage of criticism since the revelations were made public six days ago, but maintains he has received support from 20 FIA clubs and representatives of 50 others. He has since called for an Extraordinary General Assembly of the Senate, which will be held in the
FIA's home of Paris at the earliest available date.
The offence seems to be not what I did but the fact that it became public, the letter continued, but I played no role in this indeed I did my utmost to ensure it remained private. I was the victim of a disgusting conspiracy.
It goes without saying that the so-called Nazi element is pure fabrication. This will become crystal clear when the matter comes to trial. The newspaper invented this in order to spice up their story and introduce my family background [Mosley's late father Oswald was the founder of the pre-war British Union of Fascists].
I don't think any of this should affect my work on motoring safety, the environment or the sport, he continued. I believe that 21st century adults do not worry about private sexual matters as long as they are legal and harmless. I shall put this view to the Assembly in due course.
