Nürburgring becomes season opener on revised schedule
2 months ago
The Nürburgring Nordschleife will now open the 2021 World Touring Car Cup season after series organisers took the decision to amend the calendar for the upcoming campaign.
Ongoing issues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic – which include travel restrictions and national lockdowns across Europe – have resulted in the opening two meetings of the season being postponed.
Hungary had been due to open the campaign but will now move back to a new date in August to conclude the European leg of the season, whilst the planned meeting at the Slovakiaring has been replaced by a round at Adria in Italy at the end of July.
