The French “deconfinement” of the population will allow the 2020 season of the Historic Tour (the French Historic Circuits Championship) to start on 17-19 July on the circuit of Albi, at a race meeting originally scheduled to take place in April. In accordance with other postponed dates already announced, the Championship will then continue at Dijon on 14-16 August and then Charade on 28-30 August. As in most countries, the autumn will prove crowded with race meetings at Nogaro and Val de Vienne on 11-13 and 25-27 September respectively, as well as HVM Racing non-championship meetings at Dijon (2-4 October) and the Bugatti Le Mans Circuit on 16-17 October.
“Obviously, the Albi meeting will take place in compliance with the specific health system in force on this date so that the event can be carried out in the safest conditions”, specified the promoter of the championship Laurent Vallery-Masson of HVM Racing. “To date, this could involve wearing masks, distancing measures in the paddock, banning gatherings of more than 10 people and a maximum of 5000 people on site, including spectators. I also hope that the situation will continue to develop favourably at European level, so that we can have the pleasure of welcoming teams from abroad.”
There is due to be another announcement by French authorities on 22 June, just as we go to press. After that date, the specific FFSA measures will be updated on the HVM and FFSA web sites.
The undulating hills surrounding the Algarve circuit will once again be reverberating to the sound of well-tuned racing engines
