It’s true to say we live in a somewhat uncertain world now, however as the world get used to the new normal a lot of work has been going on with the race circuits, the motorsport federation EMSO and ourselves to get back on track and racing.
There is now a slightly revised 2020/21 race schedule on which we can at this point confirm 6 of the 7 events. The 7th event (likely to take place at Yas), will be confined in due course. We felt it better not to wait for that, but to publish these 6 dates to allow drivers and teams to start planning ahead.
For the first time in many years the racing season will kick on in Dubai and not at the usual event at Yas Marina Circuit at the end of October. This is due to the changes in the F1 schedule, with that event now being run in November. However with continued difficulty in travel to Abu Dhabi we have taken the decision to not start racing at Yas until the start of 2021. There are a lot of discussions going on behind the scenes but again we felt it best to commit to what we have and that means starting the season in Dubai in November and then again back there in December.
Sereis Co-ordinator Fred Jacobs added:
“Its been a really odd time of course, but it's looking really great for the new season. We have a slightly delayed start to the season, but given the way the world is now we are all a little more conditioned to being flexible! However, the season will get underway at the Dubai Autodrome and we look forward to welcoming everyone back”
As usual we are welcoming back faces from last season but are also pleased to see new faces signing up for the first race in November. We will start to release driver and team details over the coming weeks.
For now we hope to see you at the track in the lead up to the start of the racing season, many drivers have continued to do trackdays throughout the summer.
If you have not entered the series yet, and are looking to, or are indeed new to the Gulf Radical Cup community, then please get in touch and let us now how we can assist you.
