Today is a great day for Rubinho. Not only have his chances of holding onto his 'most starts in F1' record increased significantly, at least for this year, but he still gets to race something with a proper engine in the back.

Some good and bad (but not unexpected) news coming out today. It seems that they've received official approval to run at Bathurst in November presuming that event goes ahead.

On the other hand the season start for S5000 and its associated categories (such as TCR) has been delayed again to mid-October because of restrictions related to the corona outbreak in Victoria, which is where the cars are manufactured and many teams would be based.

Sadly it was confirmed today that S5000's Bathurst debut will be delayed until next year, with the Bathurst International being cancelled for this year due to travel difficulties.


Quote:
The inaugural Bathurst International will not take place until 2021 after this year’s edition was cancelled due to difficulties arising from state/territory border closures.

The newly created ‘fifth Bathurst event’ was to have taken place for the first time on November 12-15, 2020 at Mount Panorama.

That date in itself represented a change from the original plans due to the incorporation of the Bathurst 6 Hour, which had been held over from its customary Easter slot due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The TCR enduro was also scrapped for the first year due to its intended international nature, but now domestic border closures have scuttled the event entirely for 2020.

Nine categories had been lined up for the 2020 Bathurst International, including a sprint round of the TCR Australia series, which organisers say represented over 350 race cars and drivers.

A COVID safe plan and other coronavirus-related protocols had been developed to account for their presence and that of the 2000-plus support crew and volunteers who were also expected to attend.

However, with no certainty over border reopenings, and therefore the possibility of quarantine requirements for the many interstate arrivals who might have other employment/obligations, it was deemed impractical to proceed with the Bathurst International this time around.

https://www.speedcafe.com/2020/11/12/s5000-reveals-summer-series-plans-with-2021-calendar/

The 2021 season calendar is out. There will only be 4 rounds (+1 non-championship demonstration) from Jan-Apr because they're planning to switch to a summer series format which will be starting in September of next year. There is a TBA in March which will probably be at the Grand Prix if that goes ahead.

Season opener for the bulk of ARG promoted series is at Symmons Plains on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday, which includes the VHT S5000 Australian Drivers Championship. S5000 cars will also make demo runs at Baskerville next weekend.

Discussion for the other series, such as TCR, Touring Car Masters & Trans-Am will be in the standard "Shannons Nationals / ARG" thread - which is linked here.

So what do we say? Will this become a proper championship? The build-up has become pretty long in the tooth now.

I think it's definitely possible. They would have had a proper season last year if it wasn't for covid and apparently 17 cars that have been built for it now, though I'm not sure how many will actually end competing. I suspect the entry list this weekend will be a bit thin because Tasmania has some quarantine in place at the moment and the NZ GP is also on this weekend.

I think 2021/22 will be pretty good car count wise personally if they can get through this lull & if COVID doesn't screw up anything down under (will be harder to get international drivers like the series wants though regardless)
