Because Flammini wanted too much money to host it and Palmer stood to make a loss even thjough he could guarantee a big crowd, this was before he got BS aswell.
This is why Dorna now have 2 races in Spain and why they go to Russia, Qatar, were going to Turkey, Welkom. They only go to places that pay top dollar, any track that his history but cant afford the going rate is dumped.
Incidentally, this is also why Silverstone lost the GP round to a track that isn't even built yet, Dorna wanted 5 million up front to even host it, which is why they had to put proces up to 80 odd quid. Reminds me of World Cup to Qatar.
Still it's Ezpeleta, and all he cares about is who pays the most.
