Next week's Gold Coast Super GP has reportedly lost its showcase event, with red-faced organisers set to confirm on Saturday the A1GP race will be scrapped.
The couriermail.com.au reported the A1GP cars remain locked up in London, forcing Gold Coast organisers to abandon the category and turn the event into a V8 Supercars-only show.
Instead of the planned two 200km races, the V8 series will instead stage four 150km races - two on Saturday and two on Sunday.
Acting Premier Andrew Fraser said on Friday the State Government would take legal action against the A1GP organisers for "tarnishing the event".
The $AU11 million taxpayer contribution towards staging the October 22-25 event would still be spent, Fraser said.
The much maligned A1GP series hit a fresh snag when reports emerged on Thursday that their international teams had been delayed in London due to urgent safety modifications required on the cars.
