(GMM) In the wake of Sir Jackie Stewart's successful bid to stay president, opponent Ray Bellm - already ousted as chairman - has left the British Racing Drivers' Club.
The pair clashed over Silverstone's new five-year deal to promote the British grand prix.
Bellm, still a director until he proffered a written resignation to new chairman Stuart Rolt, likened the ensuing drama to a kick 'in the teeth.'
''I ... no longer wish to have anything more to do with the ... Club,'' he told Autosport.
''The (members) want Jackie to lead the Club and good luck to them.''
