Groan.... This could end up just like the Superleague vs ARL in the 90's - years and millions wasted on lawsuits with no change in the outcome, and eventually a negotiated re-merger of the two series. Then there was IRL/Champcar split. Same thing.
Who is going to actually pay the legal fees? The teams? They are cash strapped enough as it is (well most are). I can only see a lose-lose scenario here.
If MSNZ had stuck to their knitting in the first place, not created TMC and just done their job as a regulatory authority rather than trying to be a money making business as well, the situation may well never have gotten to this. Now motorsport is going to suffer and if one or both of these series goes down the gurgler then we the fans will suffer too.
My suggestion is that people start talking to each other rather than using fat cat lawyers
