The final race of the A1 GP series in Mexico has been cancelled due to the outbreak of swine flu, Reuters reported yesterday.
The race had been scheduled for May 22-24 in Mexico City.
"To say we are disappointed to have to make this call is an understatement," A1 GP chairman Tony Teixeira said.
"We must have the safety of all members of the A1 GP community, as well as the thousands of loyal fans in Mexico City as our prime concern."
This weekend's race at Brands Hatch in southern England will now be the final race of the season, with Switzerland, Portugal and Ireland all in the running for the championship.
New Zealand are seventh in the standings.
