While usually held in the Spring, the 2011 edition was held in late August. The 2012 edition was cancelled after several sponsors withdrew.[1] When the race returned to the Europe Tour calendar in 2013, it was held in September. That was the last edition of the race.

It was announced that the race could be back in 2024.[2]
