More, from a press release issued by FGSport Group, organizers of the Endurance World Championship:

The 200 Miglia di Imola round of the FIM World Endurance Championship has been cancelled.

The new management of the Imola Circuit cannot accept the contractual engagements taken by the previous administration and are no longer in a position to organise the Imola 200, originally scheduled for the 27th of June. Possibilities to reschedule the event at other circuits have been explored but FGSPORT, in agreement with the FIM, have been forced to remove the event from the 2004 Calendar.

The next round of the championship will be the Albacete 12 Horas Nocturnas night race, which will take place as planned on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of June. Following that the championship will travel to Japan for the Suzuka 8 Hour race on the 25th of July, to Germany for the Oschersleben 24 Hours on the 14th and 15th of August, and to Italy for the Vallelunga 200 on the 10th of October.
