Félicitations, John, vous ne faites pas votre âge. I thought you are 80!

No worry John, we won't call you old mut!
If its common to fall in love of your school teacher when you're fifteen not really usual when you're forty. C'est la différence française, très cher… Last edited by Gerard C; 22 Apr 2020 at 18:18. |

I've been told from a good source Monaco Historic won't be run next year it's another 2 year wait sadly.

So the Tour Auto will clash with TDF?
Seems unlikely Most of the dates are extremely speculative. Italian Tour now November ( perhaps) Probably truth is write off this year. |

Won't the Tour Auto also clash with the Modern Le Mans 24hrs?

You both are right I fear. Another concern comes from the french meetings now scheduled in August when our neighbors are wisely announcing nothing will happen before Sept, at best.
We know Masters, HSCC and HVM are working together re-scheduling the end of a season which hasn't started yet. Must not be a piece of cake wish them good luck. |

On PA new calendar the Dix Mille Tours still appear on 23/26 Jul. Sounds a bit optimistic imo. My friend Jean Marc entered his Semi Lightweight at LMC and Tour Auto but we keep ready to share my MX at Charade end of August.

And in the mean time, the U.K. Chief Scientific Advisor has announced that it is unrealistic to expect social distancing requirements to be relaxed before the end of the year. I assume a similar approach will be taken in other countries? No one yet knows what the details of this can mean but it certainly means than anything involving social gatherings and spectator sports is going to be difficult.
That may all mean that some sports/ events can stream and club motorsport may be able to exist behind closed doors but for many activities where footfall is important or a vital part of the business model it is going to be extremely difficult. |

No break at all, John, thats a big difference with LMC. May be you're referring to a red flagged then restarted edition because of a heavy fog during night? Its flat out all way long. But at this time of the year the weather will be important, mind you Le Castellet is located in the mountains, the altitude is nearly 500 meters. I do remember the Mistral almost sending my Giulia out of the track soon in the morning…

I quite understand your point Andy, you made it clear. May be social distanciation will promote track rather than rallye and clubby rather than big events.

I know certainly in 1993 there was a break, not a red flag. |

It’s only my opinion but I think that if sport and leisure are to resume then in the short term it will only be where social distancing can be maintained. Golf - ok, club racing and rallying - ok (no spectators, but need to think about the pit lane, paddock and marshals posts), GP’s live stream only, football - ? going to the pub or restaurant or clubhouse - doubt it!

I remember my nuclear, biological, chemical defence (NBCD) training in the military - they genuinely thought we could operate in all over protection suits and a respirator mask, whilst drinking and feeding ourselves whilst decontaminating ourselves too. We would have all been dead from either dehydration and / or heat stroke or from whatever the nasties were within hours!!! Cheery thought! Last edited by andy97; 23 Apr 2020 at 11:54. |

John I think politicians are already talking about sport events in July. In the other hand for the scientists its a no, no… May be a chance here, our meetings bringing few spectators!

I remember the place, you've better use a trottinette if you want to have a chance to see everything. I'm always surprised to see how many good Alfa and AutoDelta parts specialists they have in Germany…
