I suspected this was going to happen in light of recent events.

    That part of the world is a mess and I'm thinking upcoming auto racing, bicycle racing and golf events will get cancelled for a time.

    GD shame.. It was going to be my last F1 before I leave

    I saw one in 2009 and I've seen a V8 Supercars race, both times as a guest....they even have a dragstrip for the local folks to race.. ...The F1 course is beautiful
    They are in to motorsports here.
    My idiot neighbors (on the left) constantly jump on their dirtbike and 4 wheeler and a modded jeep and go racing out through the dirt streets of this neighborhood.. at night.
    I envy them sometimes. Gas is $.80 a gallon.
    But,,time for this one to come home..

    it's a shame the race is postponed ... probably one of the big money events for the local economy

    But don't those oil producing countries have a pretty high per person income? It's probably the sponsers that get hit the worst of it.

    P,S. Yeah I just googled ti and http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/26414.htm say they are 38400 a year per capita
