• Im sure that one of the things that will have
  occupied your thoughts from time to time in
  recent days is what will happen to Alfa Romeo
  racing season. Will the Silverstone and Donington
  rounds be rescheduled? If we have a shortened
  season will it still be a Championship? If so,
  how will the points scoring be worked out? How
  many rounds will there be? Will we still have
  dropped scores? Et cetera et cetera
• The answer to most of these and other similar and
  related questions is of course unknown because
  they depend on what the Government decides to do
  regarding the lockdown, social distancing
  measures and the other restrictions on what we
  may and may not do during the pandemic.

• So lets start with what we do know. Although the
  details of Alfa Romeo racing season are set out
  in the 2020 Regulations as is the case for all
  other racing series and championships Alfa
  Romeo Motorsport UK has given blanket permission
  for these to be varied by negotiation between the
  racing clubs and the circuit owners and, where
  relevant, championship associations like
  ourselves. In other words, although the
  Regulations have legal force, those relating to
  the number of rounds, the dates and location of
  those rounds and the consequent effects on
  Championship points  have been waived by Alfa
  Romeo Motorsport UK and the relevant parties
  given the freedom to renegotiate them.

• We have already lost the double headers at
  Silverstone National and Donington Park. What I
  am about to say has to be plastered with caveats,
  ifs, buts and maybes, but my understanding is
  that we are unlikely to be able to reschedule the
  Donington races but it is conceivable that the
  Silverstone meeting could be moved to November.
  However, nothing can be decided for definite
  unless and until the lockdown is lifted and we
  know for certain which of the remaining scheduled
  meetings can go ahead. All eyes are on our
  Snetterton triple header on 18/19 July at present
  as to whether or not this can go ahead and get
  our season under way. My understanding is that
  club racing events that are scheduled are very
  unlikely to be cancelled and displaced by other
  higher profile events attention will be focused
  on rescheduling around the existing calendar and
  where possible adding additional races into the
  meetings that are allowed to proceed.
• We are all in a state of suspended animation at
  the moment, but once the ban on racing is lifted
  that state will abruptly change to one of frantic
  activity.

FINANCIAL ISSUES

• As with the shape of the season, the financial
  implications of the current lockdown as they
  affect motor racing are unclear at present and
  there is little I can say as it is not a subject
  I know a great deal about. However, for sure the
  racing clubs (our 750 MC, BRSCC, BARC, etc.) will
  be under considerable financial pressure at the
  moment as they will have paid out substantial
  sums to the circuit owners but now are receiving
  no income. It will certainly be a test of the
  racing clubs financial health and stability in
  terms of what reserves or borrowings they are
  able to draw upon. As 750 MC are well placed in
  this regard this will hopefully not be an issue
  we have to contend with.
• As far as ARCA is concerned, the only firm
  decision we have made so far is that if the 2020
  season is cancelled altogether we will either
  refund the 100 ARCA joining fee or give a credit
  for the 2021 season, whichever the driver
  prefers. Other decisions will need to be made in
  due course as the situation changes.
