Formula E has announced that one of its additional tournaments that was supposed to accommodate and take place alongside the main season of competition has been cancelled at the last minute. The NXT Gen Cup is "the world's first 100% electric junior touring car cup" and it was supposed to kick off this weekend at the Misano E-Prix, but it will no longer be doing so.
The reason behind this is due to "unexpected constraints" facing the Cup, with rumours relating to this being due to pulled funding. Formula E hasn't confirmed as much, but has simply added:
"NXT GEN's participation at the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has been cancelled for Season 10 due to unexpected constraints faced by the support series."
We're told that due to the lack of the Cup at this weekend's event, Formula E has begun setting up and adjusting its schedule so that there is no lack of entertainment during the days that competition will be held in Italy.
