A music promoter who was previously offered a settlement of $1 for the last minute cancellation of a Robbie Williams concert is suing the Australian Grand Prix organisers for $8.7million. The Australian Grand Prix Corporation previously rejected a $4.8m settlement offer from promoter Richard Beck over the cancelled Williams concert, instead offering just $1. This is over a stalled deal to bring out music stars for future Grand Prixs. Mr Beck said he could help Mr Auld in his stated ambition to turn the Melbourne Grand Prix into the biggest F1 race in the world. Mr Auld said he could not comment on the case because it was before the courts.
