Well, it's not the first time we've seen problems with A1GP organising races - but at least this one was cancelled in plenty of time.
What is strange though is the reason they give. If that is the only reason, it seems to me to be very shortsighted - how do they intend anyone to buy terrestrial rights if the local race is subject to be cancelled at such short notice. And, surely having a local race and seeing if it's a success or not would encourage people to buy the rights (although, I can see the potential chicken & egg situation in that to make it a success perhaps they need to promotion from terrestrial footage?)
Still, after all the work that even that press release admits has gone into it, it seems to be very strange for them to cancel it on such grounds that, ultimately, have nothing to do with the race itself.
