DTM cancels Moscow date

The round of the DTM which had been planned for Moscow has been postponed until 2006 because of the need to get all the necessary requirements sorted out. These include building a circuit which will meet the necessary safety requirements laid down by the FIA. As a result of the postponement the Czech race at Brno will be back on the calendar on June 5. This replaces the Oschersleben race which has been pushed back to Moscow's original date on June 26. The delay may become more significant as Russian interest in Formula 1 grows in 2005 thanks to the involvement of the Midland F1 team.
