It was supposed to say that spa is even more at risk, but that was before spa was cancelled and the ACO put out it's message. thinks move fast.
Now the prime minister has said that as a diabetic i must stay in doors for 3 months to avoid catching covid19.

So choice is go mad and survive Covid 19 or take a chance with going out and risk catching something that has a risk factor of 1 in 100.

Yes, that reality seems more and more likely now.

July is workable. August less so. Circuit de la Sarthe is already booked up in July for a major event and that may be possible.

In August, a combination of many French workers being on holiday and the increased demand on the roads from tourists within the country - as well as Europe - may mean the area simply couldn't cope with the increased demand.

The race has happened in September before. That would be more likely than August.

Well, september should be tricky weatherwise, we could see an interesting race with sun setting ca. at 20:00!

I was thinking about this on my morning stroll (in lieu of commuting to work), I'm sure the countries that have big summer time shutdowns are going to have to knock it on the head this year and get back to work to make up for the 2 or 3 months of isolation we're undergoing.

Here in Denmark, everybody who cannot work from home is more or less forced to take their vacation now in order to save their jobs. So it might adjust itself quite naturally. (Depending on the holiday/vacation laws of the country)

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Even if the virus threat is [largely] over by then, part supply and logistics issues may make holding the race impossible.

Isn’t the risk about 1/100 overall. Some group less, some more risk. ?

They will make rooms available for us anyway. That's the beauty of cultivating a really good relationship with the proprietors.
