well the plan changed to ;

Spa 2021 
Le mans 2022   
Sebring 2023   
Bathurst 2024   

even Aldershot was a wash out, & they think we need Extreme E .............

Its all a bit 'up in the air' for everything & every one (unless your of student age of course ........).

I'm waiting to hear if my rolled over, rolled over again Spa WEC trip has any chance of happening, & am contemplating a Goodwood revival ticket purchase with its refund option if scrubbed ,to give myself something to look forward to,(having recently moved to Chichester!!)
 
I do hope the Sunday breakfast club reopens soon 

I never like the saying but 'No surprise!!'! He may be very good in business, just doesn't understand motor racing / fans .

*Daddy stroll doesn't understand most Aston buyers would prefer a link to an LMP/gte car than a branded car getting a 10th place finish in F1. At least his son wont have any fear of losing his F1 seat and the likes of Hulkenberg cant get a drive !! *

" rant alert!"

Since the early 90's Ive been a sportscar fan & was excited to see Aston return to sportscar racing in 2005, a fan through good times & bad, with the odd baseball cap /polo shirt bought to show my support .
Whist I could understand / tolerate their short term presence in current F1 (IPO etc) I never felt any interest / passion for their involvement ,especially with their association with the Thailand energy drink.
Stroll's money was needed but to wrap Aston future around Formula one is a mistake ,as it was said above , its buyers are clever people & must be cringing at its projected new future

Just struggling to train staff to serve cold beer n dust covered cold pizza n churro's !!!

Richard Dean was talking about expanding his empire back into GT3 now he's moved into bigger premises

well the plan WAS ;

SPA 2020
SEBRING 2021
BATHURST 2022

Having had the misses sign off the schedule , the plan has a few cracks in it at mo..........
having the appetite for far travel & the confidence of getting your money back if it goes 'pete tong ' has rather opened up them cracks

it can't only be Aldershot stock cars as the alternative surely .

where is Greta when we have what she wanted (sorry political point  )

we alas have come to the same conclusion regards 'villages'

whist having our Spa WEC trip postponed & then made 'behind closed doors' was hoping to wing it & go to the rescheduled Le mans.

whist plans were at a advanced to get it sorted ,& while i too understand the ACO predicament , the micro villages idea with no mingling with fellow fans & track views , made us kick the idea into touch.

I hope it is going to be enjoyable for those giving it a gamble, but for us , next year is the hope

A major blow has been dealt to the ACO and FIA World Endurance Championship’s plans with the cancellation of Aston Martin Racing’s Hypercar program utilizing its new Valkyrie road car.
RACER has learned a formal announcement is imminent. Reached Monday, a brand representative declined to comment on the topic
