When Formula One and IEC don’t mix

The IEC has always promoted its efforts to speed-up standards production, but the organization’s plans for its 2008 General Meeting had to be moved back thanks in no small part to Formula One racing.

What’s the connection between the IEC and those 300 km/h racing cars driven by the likes of Alonso and Hamilton? The answer lies in the hotel where the São Paulo Grand Prix road show wants to stay – the Transamerica.

Please make a note the 72nd General Meeting in Brazil will now take place from 10-14 November 2008, the week after the Brazilian Grand Prix!
