LONDON. — Races in New Jersey, Mexico and South Korea were dropped from Formula One’s official 2014 calendar on Wednesday, with the season remaining at 19 races instead of a record 22.
All three grands prix had been listed provisionally, with asterisks against them, on a previous calendar published in September by the sport’s governing International Automobile Federation (FIA). None appeared however on the final version issued on Wednesday after a meeting of the FIA’s World Motor Sports Council in Paris.
New Jersey’s Grand Prix of the America, with New York’s skyscraper skyline as a backdrop, had been due for a debut this year but that had to be postponed due to financial issues which continue to plague the race. — Reuters.
