Back in May, Kymiring announced that the cancellation of MotoGP would have no effect on other events on the track.
More events have been canceled from the Kymiring motorway in Iiti.
Track days planned for the current week and 17-19. The race weekend for the SM and Legends series of track motorcycles, marked June, has been canceled. The Ring Race Club, which organizes the events, told about it On his Facebook page.
– The reason for the cancellation is the safety deficiencies caused by the railway company’s interrupted construction work, the completion of which we have not received certainty in time, Moottorikerho writes.
Chairman of the Ring Race Club Jouni Hätinen said over the weekend To Kouvola Sanomatthat Kymiring’s ring walls are completely under construction. Conditions would not be safe for drivers or the public.
– The provisional ramparts did not meet the requirements of the Moto GP, but would have been sufficient for us at the national level. Now there are none either. We were given the opportunity to make the track safe to drive, Hätinen commented to the magazine.
– The security vulnerabilities concern the same issues that led to the revocation of MotoGP. The same applies to national competitions, Hätinen confirms to Iltalehti.
