Both the Australian Formula One and Moto GP races will be cancelled for a second straight year, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Organisers had been hoping to stage the races without the usual 14-day quarantine period, instead bringing the personnel into the country in a bubble environment, as other countries have done since the sport resumed 12 months ago.

The Formula One race had been scheduled for November 21 at the Albert Park circuit, with the Moto GP set down for Phillip Island on October 24.
