Edmonton Indy Cancelled

On Friday, the city announced an end to its signature motorsport event after the promoter decided not to stage a race next year.
“It was a fabulous event to go to and it created a lot of buzz and excitement, but it is an eight-year run whose time is up,” Lorna Rosen, the chief financial officer for the City of Edmonton, said during a hastily called news conference. “We tried everything we can think of to make it a success, and the races were good, but the profitability as a business venture just wasn’t there (for the promoter).”
The race had been produced without a title sponsor the last two years by Octane Motorsports, which relinquished its option for a third event in 2013. On Friday, the Montreal-based company filed a bankruptcy notice in the Superior Court of Quebec.
