The German 500 CART series race due to take place in Lausitz on September 21 has been cancelled. EuroSpeedway Lausitz's insolvency filing earlier this month was the main reason for the race being cancelled, said CART on its official website on Wednesday.
Last week, CART vice president of promoter operations Tim
Mayer met EuroSpeedway officials, the receiver and local
government officials in Germany but was unable to save the race,
CART said.
Last year's inaugural German 500 race was marred when twice
former CART champion and former Formula One driver Alex Zanardi
of Italy had both his legs amputated after a high-speed crash.
