BSI Speedway says it remains committed to bringing the event back to Australia, and is actively seeking a new local promoter to help stage the event in future years.
"While we were eager to run an Australian SGP in 2019, we decided that we should only do so when we are confident we can deliver the quality experience expected by our SGP riders, fans and community," said BSI Speedway Managing Director, Torben Olsen.
"We were in dialogue with multiple venues for the 2019 event, and look to continue further discussions with Ipswich in particular with a view to hopefully bringing a fantastic SGP event back to Australia as soon as possible."
