Not sure why Belgium isn't mentioned, but anyway looks like Game Over

well certainly looks like the Circuit Days event is going to get cancelled at this rate.

Will we be allowed to travel from France to Belgium though? That's the question. If so, we're golden.

Circuit days officially cancelled.

Credit for other days. Shame but inevitable.

Edit: And TF officially closed until 20 April.

Had the email through earlier. Have asked to change it to their October date.
It would be nice if booking.com stick to what they've said and refund accomodation too.

It was inevitable...I had booked both days so guess I'll have to move it to 2021 hopefully there'll be a double header then.

Moved to October. Thankfully my wife said to do this as we will have a 1 month old baby hence doing things early in the year this year and she said swap it and go. Married a good woman!

Well if the entire race season gets wiped out, I don't get my Spring/Summer trip and it isn't back on til September-ish, I'm going for a bloody week.

First time I've ever been glad I didn't pay crossings, hotel etc. well in advance though.

First time I didnt book things as P&O have been a utter bunch of c**ts imo. Despite not being to go to the port or going anywhere once off the ferry - will only credit no refunds. I'm a bit frustrated as i currently have about £1200 worth of credit that expired in a year. I doubt i will be using it as ill have a new born and new house so wont be able to afford to go on a jolly. Oh well I'll have to sell cheap crossings off and book them for people.

German border opening up on May 18th and I believe a trackday was held at the ring last week with TF running again for two weeks now. Seems there must be a reasonable chance that the July Ringmeisters double trackday could go ahead now?

I have a trip planned for the end of the month, booked end of last year. Spoken to the hotel as its a self contained flat they said i am fine to go and stay still but i'm torn with what to do.

I would be going on my own in my own car, Own cabin on the ferry, own in the hotel and would be cooking in the flat for myself. I dont see any issues but i'm 90% certain I'll cancel it and wait till october but i cant bring myself to do it yet lol

Since writing it I have cancelled my trip end of May. I think its the right thing to do as I've 2 later in the year booked and hopefully things will be more normal then. I'm about to move house and baby due within the next 2 months so financially I am going to save the money for that & stay isolated at home for now. I can also save the holiday from work to spend time with the baby so its all good.

I'd love to go but its time to be a sensible adult lol

I thought France and Belgium where still on lockdown, was planning an end of May trip myself but couldn't find any consistent info on the status of travelling through France and Belgium.

There's five of us already booked travel by the tunnel and hotels for late June , as far as I can understand off the Internet is that the German border opens on the 18th may and the French border I think said 15th June ? Please correct me if I'm wrong as its national cocktail day apparently !
We're hanging on in hope we'll make it on the 22nd of June as we planned , but starting to realise it's realistically a roll of the dice as to wether it's possible.
Worst case we'll lose £50 each for the hotel no show charge and have to re book the tunnel for later in the year .
Fingers and toes crossed as I eventually got round to swapping winter tyres for ad08r , they're fine as summer road tyres though .

France is 15 june to review. Holland is fine currently, Germany tourism starts 18th May so you can get hotels etc

There's a link to an info page on bridgetogantrys Facebook page , dw.com I think . It says pretty much open borders on the 15th June , however it's all subject to reviews.

Currently in two minds about whether to go in August or September now...
