REMAINING VICTORIAN STATE ROUNDS SUSPENDED

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the executive of the VSCRS has opted to suspend all remaining rounds of the 2020 Victorian State Circuit Racing Championships until further notice.

The decision by organisers was made off the back of the latest government restrictions introduced a number of weeks ago, which has seen the limit on mass gatherings further decrease and all sporting events nationwide cancelled or postponed as a result.

With this new legislation unlikely to be lifted in the near future the decision has been made to suspend the final three rounds of the VSCRC.

The second round of the VSCRC was set to take place at Winton Motor Raceway on March 28-29, but it has been cancelled and won’t be rescheduled.

VSCRC administrative secretary David Vernall has issued a statement to all competitors on the recent event suspensions, which can be read below.

To all VSCRC Competitors, It has become clear during the last week that the current government restrictions make the running of race meetings impossible. We do not believe that these restrictions will be lifted in the short term. In fact, it is difficult to predict when we will be able to resume normal life. Therefore, the Executive of the VSRS Inc have decided to suspend all future rounds of the 2020 VSCRC until further notice. We do not do this lightly as our reason for existence is to run race meetings. We will monitor this ever changing situation closely and keep you all informed as soon as we can. Finally take care of yourselves and your families. Follow the government guidelines, this is the quickest way we can all get back to doing what we love. Kind Regards David Vernall Administrative Secretary VSCRC Inc
