Jun.2 (GMM) In between Max Mosley's reported confidence, and the opposing widespread resistance to his continuing role as FIA president, the outcome of Tuesday's crucial Paris vote is truly unclear.



24 major FIA member clubs, all with hypothetical votes at the FIA senate, condemned the 68-year-old Briton in a recent letter.



But some other affiliates - some with two votes apiece - have not shown their hands.



Some that want Mosley to be removed, meanwhile - including India, Russia and Jamaica - will not be present on Tuesday because they are ineligible to vote, mainly because they were late to pay FIA fees or missed the proxy deadline.



In fact, the news agency Associated Press also said the governing body has confirmed that just 180 of the 222 FIA member clubs will attend the Paris vote.



Elsewhere, the British newspaper The Guardian conducted a poll of 100 of the eligible FIA voters that showed 37 per cent want Mosley to go.



The newspaper said 25 per cent are set to vote in the FIA president's favour, 9 per cent are undecided or ineligible, while 29 per cent declined to comment.
