No TV, no race
NZPA Warsaw The Swiss Formula One motor racing grand prix, which was to have taken place in Dijon, France, on July 10, has been cancelled.
The decision was announced by Jean-Marie Ballestre, president of motor racing’s international governing body FISA, at the end of the federation’s spring meeting with the International Automobile Federation. He said the race had been cancelled because the federation had been unable to negotiate television coverage of the event.
Other decisions at the meeting included a date change for the New York Grand Prix from September 24 to 25. Agreement was reached on new conditions for the granting of superlicences to drivers, and a safety code for refuelling cars during races was drawn up.
