IndyCar Series CEO Jeff Belskus said at Twin Ring Motegi Friday that the IRL is considering a race in China but that a decision won't be made until 2011 or 2012.

"International events are important to us but we need a compelling reason to do them," Belskus told the Associate Press.

Belskus said an announcement on a venue for the 2010 season opener in Brazil could be made within the next two weeks.
