Grand Prix farce refunds on offer

Ticket-holders from the farcical US Grand Prix at Indianapolis in June are now being invited to apply for refunds.

Tyre supplier Michelin announced last month they would pay back all spectators after only six cars raced following a row about their tyres.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is administering the refund on behalf of the French company and has now published details and forms for claimants. They request all claims to be submitted by August 29.

Michelin advised the seven teams it supplies to withdraw from the race due to safety concerns after providing them with an inappropriate tyre.
