Don't forget that there will also be every other discipline across motorsport who will also probably be trying to get their meetings on.

Bottom line is the longer this goes on the more there will be some meetings that just won't happen this year.
Well indeed and I dare say that if there some extended constraints after the main lockdown is lifted (based on the great likelihood of a repeat of the exercise a few months down the road) the "older" generations, being more at risk, may still find themselves somewhat constrained.

That certainly would not help the availability of "officials".

So true creativity might be to combine meetings. Likely possible anyway if people have not been earning enough to support any remaining racing season.

Cars and bikes sharing could be a little tricky - especially at the same time. However for everything else where there is a will there may be a way. So long as expectations are not too unrealistic.

In the absence of DHF this weekend, I have put together some photographic memories from Donington focusing on the Historic Festivals ...

The Donington Historic Festival has now been postponed until 2021.

2020 tickets can be carried over.

Yes, it seems the major historic world has decided to ignore 2020. I suspect this will be as much to do with a probable lack of entries (from UK and Worldwide) as much as the social distancing rules.
