The organisers of the new Balatonring race, which had been scheduled for 20 September this year, announced earlier this week that the project had been delayed and requested that the grand prix was rescheduled for 2010.
Carmelo Ezpeleta, head of MotoGP rights-holder Dorna, said that the Hungarian authorities had proposed that the race go ahead in 2009 at a partially-completed venue without full paddock buildings, but that he had rejected this suggestion.
"The contract stipulated the race would take place from 2009, or from 2010 if the construction works weren't finished on time," Ezpeleta was quoted as saying by Gazzetta dello Sport.
"They proposed to me a solution halfway, with the track built without structures, but I didn't accept it. Either the maximum gets done, or we postpone for a year."
