The prestigious Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race has to be postponed due to current travel restrictions.
The extensions of health and safety restrictions in Japan make it necessary to postpone to November 07. The Estoril race was supposed to have taken place on this date, so it has now been postponed to July 17.
Speaking of the news, François Ribeiro, Head of Eurosport Events, said:
“We suggested to the organizers of the Suzuka 8 Hours and the 12 Hours of Estoril that they switch their dates for the good of the championship and to make it easier for teams to travel to Japan. In the coming months, it will still be hard to have a clear idea regarding travel management and public attendance at the circuits. The 2021 season will be an excellent one with an opening race at Le Mans and a grand finale at Suzuka to decide the title.”
