I don't know when that classification was announced, but as others have said above, MSV have a healthy quantity of cash sitting in their banks as a result of BTCC ticket sales for Donington alone and (I'm going to make an assumption now) I feel that may have been influencing their desire to ignore MSUK's guidance and to try and allow spectators into Donington.
Spectators who cannot now go to the circuit can at least watch the action on TV which I know isn't quite the same, but it's a reasonable replacement. My work colleague who has just been forced to cancel his family holiday to Spain next week because of the Covid Quarantine enforcements doesn't have such a suitable and easy replacement!
