The Road to Le Mans 2021

Not good news but clearly a threat.

Postponement of the TOTAL 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps

In view of the continued global spread of COVID-19, and after discussions with the championship promoter, its local partners and the RACB, the decision has been taken to postpone the 7th round of the FIA World Endurance Championship’s 2019-2020 season due

April decision for Le Mans 24 Hours amid coronavirus crisis

Think there's a decent chance that it won't be happening as planned.

Well let's see but that was the only work in the diary for me this year after being flat out last year.

With Spa being postponed there is more than a fair chance Le Mans will be pushed back to, handy for me as I would be able to go.

I would also suspect that Classic will also be off this year, returning in 2022 on it's normal two yearly cycle

On the plus side, if it is later in the year then the new Hypercar category should be running so the racing will be better.

Doesn't this mean there will be an empty track sitting there? SM Track 24hrs?

Would any of our cars finish! Lol

Anyone brave enough to do it in a 3200 ?

Finish ? Most of them would n't make it to Dover

 

[Felonious Crud]

Finish ? Most of them would n't make it to Dover

Although in general the cars stand a better chance of making it than the drivers.

The only way one of Bennys sh1t heaps would get as far as France is if it was fired out of a massive cannon from just outside his house .

To be fair; they tend to get to France.... Then bits give up the ghost like wheel bolts!

£500 cars, what could possibly go wrong.

I know QPs and GTs seem to be depreciating but I think you’re being a bit pessimistic there.

 

[zagatoes30]

Getting there isn't normally the issue, getting back however....

They’d only need to get there. At that money, I’d leave it in France. A return ferry ticket would double its value.

Bollocxs to you, you shitstain. The Maser has only let me down once in Le Mans, and while it sitting on the truck it was still faster than you.

If the 24 happens or not we still have the decision to go regardless. I for one would be up for that. The issue is the ferry companies. If they are still running then we won’t get our money back. We hardley go to the race anyway so why spoil our fun?

we can self isolate in Les Blot, 24hrs of beer drinking, what’s the problem?

All the French will be in their houses so we can irritate them more with our noise?
