Jersey City has reportedly scrapped plans to host a Formula 1 race just a day after announcing its proposal.
The city had drafted a five-year scheme to host an F1 race, with a 3.6-mile race track across the streets of Jersey City and the New York skyline as a backdrop.
But local media quoted Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy as saying: "After a review of the draft proposal prepared by the City's Tourism Office, I have come to the same conclusion – that this type of event is not suited for Liberty State Park.
"While we work to attract national and international events to our city, we must ensure that they are appropriate and will have the least impact upon the quality of life of our residents and our community."
