2020 LM Postponed (was Am I the only one...?)
Am I the only one, who has a sneaky feeling that our most loved race in June is in threat??

It was supposed to say that spa is even more at risk, but that was before spa was cancelled and the ACO put out it's message. thinks move fast.
Now the prime minister has said that as a diabetic i must stay in doors for 3 months to avoid catching covid19. So choice is go mad and survive Covid 19 or take a chance with going out and risk catching something that has a risk factor of 1 in 100. |

Yes, that reality seems more and more likely now.

How integrated LM24 in French infrastructure is? I mean, is it possible to hold the event at another time of year? Are july and august way to hot? Is september or october way to severe?

In August, a combination of many French workers being on holiday and the increased demand on the roads from tourists within the country - as well as Europe - may mean the area simply couldn't cope with the increased demand. The race has happened in September before. That would be more likely than August. |

Well, september should be tricky weatherwise, we could see an interesting race with sun setting ca. at 20:00! |

I was thinking about this on my morning stroll (in lieu of commuting to work), I'm sure the countries that have big summer time shutdowns are going to have to knock it on the head this year and get back to work to make up for the 2 or 3 months of isolation we're undergoing.

Isn’t the risk about 1/100 overall. Some group less, some more risk. ?

So you are confident the place you stay at has no bookings that week, do you know something that no one else knows?

Assuming I can attend a rearranged event, I'll just have to bring my big coat for the night shift

We can drink mulled wine instead of chilled beer.
