BRDC members demand removal of Stewart

The British Racing Drivers' Club announced today that an Extraordinary General Meeting has been called by members for the purpose of removing Sir Jackie Stewart from his roles as president and as a director of the club. The board of directors issued a statement recommending that the members do not vote against Stewart, although this did not make it clear whether there was unanimous agreement of all the directors or merely a majority in favour of supporting him.

The details of the EGM have not yet been announced.
