The Australian Formula One Grand Prix and MotoGP round were canceled for the second successive year on Tuesday because of the border controls in place to keep the novel coronavirus out of the country.
The 2020 edition of the Formula One race was called off at the last minute as the pandemic took hold and this year's Melbourne round was shifted from its traditional season-opening spot to Nov. 21.
Australia's borders are still effectively closed, however, and the requirement for anybody entering to quarantine for 14 days looks set to remain in place until the end of the year, at the earliest.
