All motorsport activities in the United Kingdom are suspended

Most international motorsport events have already been cancelled for the foreseeable future, but now all local races in the UK are also being suspended. This means that almost all motorsport activities worldwide are definitely off.

The UK has arguably the liveliest Motorsport scene in the world. With its many circuits and teams, there is usually plenty of racing throughout the country. This will also come to an end as a result of the coronavirus COVID-19. During the entire month of March and April, no races will take place. 

Motorsport UK chairman David Richards said in a statement on their website about the decision to shut down all operations. “It is not a decision we make lightly, because this industry has many thousands of jobs. Our responsibility to the friends and family within our community and society as a whole transcends this. ”

The announcement was already coming after the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) previously indicated that the first three racing weekends will not take place. The industry follows the line of the British government, which lock the country a little slower than the rest of Europe.
