From 1st June clubs can apply to Motorsport UK to run race meetings on or after 4th July 2020.

I emphasise the words ‘possible’ and ‘some’ because there are lots of caveats, ifs, buts, and maybes, but the pote§ntial is there. Whether or not our Snetterton meeting will be one of those to run if the go-ahead is given is not known because the number of race meetings that would be allowed to run cannot be more than 50% of the total number that ran in July 2019.
Key points to note at present are: • From 1st June clubs can apply to Motorsport in the UK to run race meetings on or after 4th July 2020; • Any resumption of motorsport is contingent on event organisers demonstrating that they can plan in accordance with the recently published, “Getting Back on Track” guidelines of Motorsport UK, while respecting government guidance on social distancing.
The move is contingent on the government continuing with measures to open up society and that further restrictions resulting from any additional waves of COVID-19 are not required. • There will be a number of caveats of granting event permits, including that event organisers commit that their events will be held behind closed doors, appropriate PPE requirements are met, and that each organiser must appoint a COVID-19 officer to ensure compliance with any relevant guidelines.
Furthermore, there will be a limit on the number of permits issued for July to 50% of those in the corresponding month of 2019, in order that there are sufficient volunteer Official and Marshal resources available to support the restart in a safe and responsible manner. No national or British championship events will take place in July to reduce potential national and international travel (excludes FIA championships).
How all this will come out in the wash for the Alfa Romeo Championship remains to be seen, but the final point about no national or British Championship events taking place in July is interesting. At first sight it gives hope to club racing events; on the other hand we are a ‘national championship’ in one sense of the term so we’ll have to wait and see how it pans out.
