Race called off

This month’s Race of Champions motorsport event in Bangkok has been called off due to political upheaval in the Thai capital, organizers said yesterday. Formula One world champions Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher had been among the drivers due to participate in the December 14-15 event at the Rajamangala Stadium. The stadium, in a Bangkok suburb, has been used for regular rallies by red-shirted supporters of Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. “The Sports Authority of Thailand and the organizers of the 2013 Race Of Champions have announced the event cannot take place as planned ... due to the current political situation in Bangkok,” race organizers said in a statement.
