It is believed that Firoz Cachalia, who has recently come to office for the MEC for Economic Development, cancelled the F1 contract 'because he felt sceptical of some of the assumptions made in the assessments, and felt that the province's immediate priorities outweighed the possible long-term benefits of hosting the event'.

He also explained that, with a potential comeback for the race initially expected to return an 8 percent growth rate in the area, this information was inaccurate. "No motorsports project is justifiable that doesn't meet the needs of the majority," Cachalia is quoted as saying.


<wtf>

What 'majority' Firoz?
