The whole straight banana thing was always a poor attempt at humour, just amazing how many people fell for it!

It might be the result of an ECJ ruling but it had nothing to do with motorsport.
Motorsport has been thrown into the discussion along with anything else that someone thought might fall in the same field.

A rather wider issue than that of motorsport is lawnmowers, which would also be affected by such a directive (I'm sure a BoJo type will happily raise that to justify their cause).

Given the size of the motorsport and lawnmowing fraternities and the fact that the EU does not strive to increase unemployment such issues will fall by the wayside along the way.

France and Germany in particular have sizeable motorsport industries and they know how to deal with such issues and will prevent any stupidity.
