Formula E Cancels Moscow Race Due To 'Unforeseen Circumstances'

A Formula E race scheduled for Moscow on June 4 "has been cancelled due to 'unforeseen circumstances' relating to road closures," according to Alan Baldwin of REUTERS. Formula E said in a statement that the race, round nine of a championship now reduced to 10, "would not be replaced on the calendar." Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag: "We looked at a number of alternative options as a replacement but were not able to find a viable solution on that specific date." The cancellation leaves three races, Berlin on May 21 and a double header in London on July 2-3. The series has already visited China, Malaysia, Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, California and France. The London races "also have a question mark over them, however, with locals up in arms over the use of Battersea Park as the venue" (REUTERS, 5/6).
