Petrol heads will have to wait for the first motor racing event of the 2013 season in Lanzarote, the Rallysprint La Candelaria has been postponed.
The 15th edition of the event was due to take place on Saturday as part of the annual fiesta, however the organisers have decided to put the event on hold. Normally this rally is a two day event, starting with an exciting night stage followed by a rally the next day. This year’s event had been reduced to just the daylight rally and then suffered with a low registration, forcing the organisers to consider their position.
Escudería Racing Tías are hopeful that this motor racing event will be held on a new date after carnival. Many drivers and teams are finding the expense of the annual racing license and maintenance of a competitive car to high to participate this year.
Provisional dates for the diary according to the Federación de Las Palmas de Automovilismo (FALP) for motor racing events in Lanzarote in 2013 include:
April 6 Slalom en Tierra Lanzarote
April 20 Rallysprint de Guatiza
June 22 Rallye de Tierra Isla de Los Volcanes
June 29 Subida Haría
July 27 Rallysprint Tomás Viera
