The IMSA and the WEC paddack were clearly seperated in Sebring 2 years ago so the risk of cross contamination is low between the two bubbles. The nightmare will be logiticaly but protocols have been developped since the outbrake of the virus a year afo so it should be manageable.
Major Florida February/March events, Cavallino/Amelia Island Concours/St Pete Indycar race are being pushed back to (?). Europe/US air travel is very difficult. Quarantine requirements in Europe. Costs. Uncertainty. IMSA Sebring is likely
as IMSA owns Sebring and Florida covid restrictions are lax but WEC Sebring for Euro based teams? We don't see it happening. The recent US political craziness doesn't help either.
We think Portimo in late April more likely start of season. We would make that race with our two cars.
