IndyCar has introduced a new Detrimental Competitor Conduct rule to the series rulebook but insists it will not be applied "in a Draconian fashion."

The first race of the 2015 IndyCar Series season due to be held in Brazil on March 8 has been cancelled, according to the local promoters.

The Verizon IndyCar Series will return to Brazil next year, with a new event scheduled for the capital city of Brasilia in March.

Next year's 'Month of May' IndyCar racing programme will start with a new event on a revamped road course ahead of the official 'Opening Day' for the 98th Indianapolis 500.
