D-day arrives for F1 boss Mosley

LONDON, England (CNN) -- World motor sport boss Max Mosley's future will be decided by a vote of confidence Tuesday, two months after allegations about his sex life were published.

The FIA's assembly are meeting in Paris to decide the embattled Mosley's fate.

The FIA president has been fighting for his future since March 30, when the UK's News of the World newspaper alleged he took part in an orgy with Nazi-style role play.

Mosley denies the orgy had Nazi overtones and has started legal action for violation of privacy against the newspaper in Britain and France. Any proceeds will be donated to charity.

He has kept a low profile in the past two months -- making his first race appearance since Malaysia in the paddock at the Monaco Grand Prix.

The story has bubbled along despite Mosley's low profile, with a number of teams, motor sport bodies and former drivers demanding he resign over the allegations.

The story was given extra zing by claims an MI5 agent had to resign after it was revealed his wife was one of the prostitutes involved.

Mosley had been confident of winning the vote -- there are 177 up for grabs -- and continuing in the position till his term ends next year, but in the past week 24 large motor sport bodies have come out against him.

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has also broken his silence, pushing for Mosley to resign ahead of the vote rather than risk any further embarrassment.
