The opening round “Blast in the Park” was scheduled for 18 and 19 of April, but the series organizers MSVR requested assurances from the circuit that all necessary work for the track to receive a proper licence from the UK governing body of motorsport. They gave Donington Park a deadline at yesterday, but didn’t hear from the circuit.

A spokesman for the governing body MSA has confirmed that a licence will not be issued until the circuit had been inspected and fully complies with MSA regulations.

MotorSport Vision’s Chief Executive Jonathan Palmer said: “It’s extremely disappointing that this remarkable situation has occurred, and that we have been forced to cancel our event at Donington Park due to the lack of a valid track licence. This has caused significant disruption to all of MSVR’s competitors and series, including Formula Palmer Audi, that were due to race next weekend.”

“It is quite unsatisfactory and particularly unacceptable that we have received no communication from the circuit on the matter. We are currently in discussions with all our series and championship coordinators to arrange alternative dates and venues, and these will be confirmed at the earliest opportunity.”

Details regarding new dates will be announced soon.
