The following hearing of the International Court of Appeal will take place in Paris:

Hearing

Appeal lodged by the Automobile Club d’Italia/Commissione Sportiva Automobilistica Italiana (ACI/CSAI) on behalf of its licence-holder Prema Power Team against a decision of the Belgian National Court of Appeal on 16 May 2007 in relation to an event run on 22 April 2007 in Zolder (Belgium) and counting towards the 2007 World Series by Renault Championship.

On 21 April 2007, the Stewards of the Meeting decided to exclude driver N°25 of the competitor Prema Power Team from the first race, as his car was not in conformity with the Technical Regulations (flat bottom and bodyshell had allegedly been modified).

The competitor Prema Power Team decided to appeal this decision to the Belgian National Court of Appeal.

At its hearing on 16 May 2007, the Belgian National Court of Appeal confirmed the decision of the Stewards.

Prema Power Team decided to appeal the decision of the Belgian National Court of Appeal to the International Court of Appeal.
