Hungary fined after track invasion

(15-Oct-98) - Organisers of the Hungarian Grand Prix have been fined one
million US dollars after this years track invasion following the Grand Prix
on August 16.

750,000 dollars of the fine has been suspended and will only be payable if
there is a repeat of this year's crowd problems in the next two years.

However, Hungary's place on the '99 calendar is far from assured. The World
Motor Sport Council will decide the fate of Hungary's place on the calendar
at their meeting in December.

Organisers will have had to have been given a complete plan detailing how
the organiser will prevent a track invasion, including a police report,
before the race is finalised.
