Moscow BSS race forced to switch
Next month's Blancpain Sprint Series race scheduled for a new street circuit in Moscow has been moved to the city's permanent venue. The shift of the race to the Moscow Raceway approximately 90 minutes from the Russian capital follows a decision by city authorities to bring forward construction work planned for the Moscow university area in which the event was due to take place on July 4-5.
A statement from BSS organizer the Stephane Ratel Organisation read: "All preparations for the race have been ordered to stop. Since the BSS event is only a couple of weeks away, it has been impossible for the promoter to get all the authorisations necessary for another location in the city center.
"The only alternative to maintain the event on the calendar was to move the 2015 event to Moscow Raceway."
Further details of the new event, which has been brought forward to July 3-4, will be announced at a press conference scheduled for next Tuesday.
