There's probably a few things that have added to the decision. My best guess would be a list something along the lines of:
  • Uncertainty over AGT management in 2018
  • Need to publish full list of supports soon for event promotion
  • Small AGT fields in 2017 leading to some concern for 2018
  • Dollars on offer & "prestige" of an "international" series
  • Corporate support from Audi

This is definitely not an AGT bash but the current uncertainty re who is running it etc would in my view be a big factor - I see this impacting on more and more 2018 plans the longer it takes to resolve.
