BMW 318ti Cup Round 4 & 5 RESCHEDULED AND RELOCATED for COVID Concerns and Border Challenges
As the news of cancellation broke, the JAS Rennsport team and myself were disappointed to not experience an epic weekend of racing at the Nürburgring for the BMW 318ti Cup and supporting races. The organizing body for the weekend, MSC Bork e.V. im ADAC, declared the event cancelled in light of increased COVID-19 cases in nearby regions of western Germany. The news broke late on Tuesday, October 13th with the event due to start on Thursday. The last-minute decision is understandable but sad indeed.
The season finale round at Autodrom Most in Czechia on November 13-15th will be rescheduled as well. Travel difficulties between Germany and Czechia because of the pandemic led to this decision.
Series organizers have recently confirmed replacement venues and dates for both lost events. Blister Berg will serve as the effective replacement for Nürburgring and take place on November 6-8th, while Motorsport Arena Oschersleben will take the season finale the following weekend on November 13-15th.
