Magny-Cours included in the 2020 calendar?

After the cancellation of the Monza round in mid-April, the usual opening of the season GT World Challenge Europe, and following the impossibility of competing in the Sprint rounds at Brands Hatch and Endurance of Silverstone in May due to the coronavirus pandemic, SRO Motorsports looking for the right formula for your 2020 calendar.

According to our information, one of the solutions would see a program maintained at ten races, as repeated by the promoter, which would begin from June 26 to 28 at Zandvoort in Sprint, the Paul Ricard Endurance round, scheduled for the end of May, being postponed until the end of the season in mid-November.

Misano (Sprint) would then follow at its early July date, then the 24 Hours of Spa (July 23-26). As we mentioned last week, the date of August 9 would come into play, for a Sprint round whose destination remains to be defined.

No changes for the Nürburgring event (September 5-6), before a detour via Nièvre and the Magny-Cours circuit on September 12 and 13 for an Endurance event.

The last part of the calendar would remain as planned (Budapest, Barcelona and Imola), before the last change of the Endurance final at Paul Ricard.

But SRO Motorsports would also have other options on the table, with a start of the season at Misano in July if the Zandvoort round were to be canceled, but with three races on the menu, as for the Imola final, in order to replace track time. On the other hand, the calendar would then include nine appointments.

The date of October 17 and 18, and a Sprint round at Navarra with three races, would also be in the cards if the season were to start even later than Misano, possibly at the 24 Hours of Spa.

All this obviously remains conditional on a return to normal in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
