World Touring Car Championship promoter Marcello Lotti says the cancellation of the planned Buenos Aires event next year happened because work required to re-homologate the circuit for international racing would not have been completed in time. The series had been due to visit the former grand prix venue on 3 April, but was now replaced the Buenos Aires round with a return to Zolder on 24 April "Our plan to race in Argentina reached a deadlock because the event promoter and the local government were not in a position to grant the work that needed to be done to re-homologate the Buenos Aires circuit in time for the event," said Lotti, who remains hopeful that the WTCC can visit Argentina in future seasons.
