UIM F2 Grand Prix of Switzerland Cancelled

Campione Cancelled, With wind speeds recorded at over 20 knots the UIM race officials were left with little choice but to cancel the fourth round of the UIM F2 World Championship.

In a short statement he said that even he was surprised just how strong the wind speed had become. “It’s been a long while since I have seen weather here in Campione like this. Yes, perhaps I could have made the decision earlier but we had to give Ivan Motta, the race organiser, every available option to run this event.
