About sports events it is difficut to say because they speak only about football.
They say the norm is: people seated , distancing 1 seat between 2 people or group, and mask.

Based on experience in France a couple of weeks ago the whole masks thing seemed to work fine, with the rule of thumb of indoors mask while you're walking, but fine to unmask when you're sitting down. Outdoors things seemed a lot more liberal, but obviously if there's an abundance of caution wearing a mask when walking around at Le Mans is a thing that we can probably all do.
I suspect sitting at our campsite pitch without a mask will be fine, and yes I'll miss going down to the inside of Tertre Rouge in the small hours with a glass of decent whisky, or indeed having a beer in the grandstand through the afternoon, but if this is the price we pay then fair enough.
I've booked a hotel for the Sunday night, but being honest, until things are a lot clearer I'm not committing much. Optimism is less high than it was a couple of weeks ago, but being stoic seems like a good idea, much as it has about a lot else of life over the last six months or so.

As said the numbers of people not going this year seems to be increasing so perhaps the ACO will be able to cope with those actually attending the race, but as it gets closer to the date the politicians are taking the choices out of peoples hands.

I think the ACO will follow the sanitory rules : distancing in the grandstands with 1 seat left between people or groups, and mask to be worn in the circuit and plenty of hydroalcoholic solution!
In the fact not a secret!

But I think we'll be allowed to walk along the track as usual.........with a mask.

I hope, you have a glassball

It would be just fine.....

**Aysedasi** · 7 Aug 2020, 13:36 (Ref:3993553)

Well, he is the man on the spot!

GT6 · 7 Aug 2020, 13:54 (Ref:3993559)

yes but which village is that spot in?

today's announcement re 14 days isolation could have big effects on the spa races this weekend and next especially for uk based teams

Because of the new mask wearing rules, if we have to wear a mask why could it be possible in the town centers and not along the track?? Do you imagine staying all along the race at the same seat?? Even if ACO is not always "clean", I deeply doubt they can consider receive the fans like this. BUT we know they can take us by surprise :.................

I'm not certain that the quarantine relates to those working for teams at Spa. My son is there this week doing ELMS and LMCup and he's been told he will be exempt - so he understands.....?

GT6 · 7 Aug 2020, 16:10 (Ref:3993579)

Well i would be surprised if that was correct but who knows what is happening at the moment

Could be this exemption....

Drivers of goods vehicles and other employees of community licence holders for the international carriage of goods
You’ll need to complete the Public Health passenger locator form before you travel to the UK. You will not need to self-isolate.

You’ll need to show that your travel is part of your job, for example a letter from your employer, a consignment note or your operator’s licence.

But I guess it depends on whether the team he is working for has such a licence. There is no doubt that travel is an essential part of his job, working in ELMS, LMCup and also GT World Challenge.

GT6 · 7 Aug 2020, 16:32 (Ref:3993592)

Well i hope he enjoys Spa, it is a brilliant circuit and i hope that he gets time during some of the races to visit the best spots to watch the cars

**Aysedasi** · 7 Aug 2020, 16:54 (Ref:3993595)

I think he'll probably be too knackered. It's only essentially him and one other running the LM Cup car and he's windscreen cleaner and tyre changer on one of the ELMS P3's.

That's super cool that your son is getting to do that!

**Aysedasi** · 7 Aug 2020, 18:00 (Ref:3993604)

Living the dream......

Great!! Happy for him and you!

**Aysedasi** · 7 Aug 2020, 20:46 (Ref:3993657)

And today one of the drivers put a wheel on the grass at Eau Rouge, not a clever thing to do. So the crew have an all-nighter to be ready for tomorrow....

Grass at Eau Rouge

Effectively not the best cocktail!!

**Peter Mallett** · 8 Aug 2020, 06:53 (Ref:3993726)

Just a small point, these days there is no grass at Eau Rouge. The grass starts on the right in Le Radillon.

**Aysedasi** · 8 Aug 2020, 07:13 (Ref:3993730)

That must have been it then Peter. Fortunately, I misunderstood his message, it was a team a few garages up. Not good for them, but at least my lad would have got some sleep after all!

GT6 · 9 Aug 2020, 20:05 (Ref:3994274)

Well it has been 2 days and no announcement for isolation on returning from France, hoping that next weeks aco announcement is good for us

**Aysedasi** · 10 Aug 2020, 09:58 (Ref:3994415)

My son did not have to quarantine on his return from Spa. Apparently the team members have some kind of authorisation/exemption based on the fact that they were there to work and were effectively 'bubbled' in their team at the circuit. Great day yesterday as well, second in class in P3.....

**Peter Mallett** · 10 Aug 2020, 10:26 (Ref:3994422)

Excellent result.

jee · 10 Aug 2020, 12:09 (Ref:3994446)

No spectators at all this year
