The inaugural Ansan Champ Car Grand Prix race in South Koreahas been removed from the Champ Car World Series calendar.
Officials did not offer any explanation as to why the event was cancelled. It was scheduled for October 15-17.
''It is regrettable that this event in Korea has failed despite our repeated efforts to bring it to fruition. We will not allow this setback to detract from what has been a very successful season,'' said Champ Car World Series co-owner Kevin Kalkhoven. ''Despite the unfortunate situation regarding the Korea event, we intend to further develop our presence in Asia and the Pacific Rim, and are continuing to build toward our goal of conducting world-class events in these regions.''
This announcement comes just two days after series was given permission to stage a race in the streets of Las Vegas in 2007.
