Australia's governing body for motorsport has used a rally car crash involving TV host Grant Denyer to reignite concerns it has with rival organisers.
The Gold Logie nominee and his co-driver, Dale Moscatt, were both airlifted to hospital following the crash during the Lake Mountain Sprint in Marysville on Sunday.
The event and the Australian Tarmac Rally Championship are endorsed by Australian Auto-sport Alliance, not the FIA-affiliated Confederation of Australian Motor Sport.
The FIA is the international governing body for motorsport and endorses events such as the formula one championship.
CAMS says it would welcome a thorough police investigation into the Denyer crash and has previously expressed concerns about the safety of this event and others.
"CAMS places a priority on upholding a high level of safety standards, in particular at rally events, to ensure the safety of competitors, spectators and officials, and to protect the integrity of Australian motorsport," it says.
AASA chairman Bruce Robertson says the confederation is losing market share to a competitor.
"Race Solutions, the safety crew, is world class," he told AAP on Tuesday.
"All of the cars have mandated satellite tracking, all the drivers and navigators have all the latest helmets and (head and neck support) devices and safety equipment."
ATRC director Peter Washington was furious about CAMS' comments about safety, which he labelled defamatory and hypocritical.
He said his rally championship was subject to "exhaustive risk management protocols" and ATRC's safety standards "are second to none".
AASA says it is holding the "usual investigations" into the Sunday's crash and wishes Denyer and Moscatt speedy recoveries.
Police say they are not investigating the crash at this stage.
Denyer, who walked from the crash with only bruising, was taken to Melbourne as a precaution while Moscatt had a suspected broken leg.
