i've just found out that in 2009, the turks and caicos islands, a british overseas territory, where due to hold a round of the indy racing league. Does anyone know if the event is due to happen next year or in the near future or why it failed to happen in the first place. I don't remember autosport magazine reporting it or anbody for that matter

Wikipedia says the government signed a letter of intent for a 2009 GP but it doesn't say what happened after that...

True 
It must of been an undulating track if it was built.

In August 2009, the United Kingdom suspended the Turks and Caicos' self-government after allegations of ministerial corruption.i don't think the Turks and Caicos goverment is the most stable in the world, i don't know if that has played a part

Well, I reckon we'd give them independence in a New York minute. These Overseas Territories are nothing but a nuisance for HMG - either they are dependent financially, and if they aren't, they are dodgy tax havens and/or drug trafficking centres. And many of the rest of the world keep using them to bash the UK about being 'colonialists'.yeah thats what i heard BRG , plus the fact they keep banging on about independence as well.
Presumably this race idea was scrapped by Whitehall when they took over.
