Have you spoken to Eurotunnel? All crossings are valid for 12 months
I had crossings and they put them on hold to the end of the 12 months (from booking date) and then you can make a booking for anytime in the next 12 month’s so you could gamble through to 2022.
They are only valid for 12 months from point of booking, not date of crossing. I like to book in advance so all bookings were made around October time. Claimed on insurance but only got about £50 back after the excess which was applied per trip.

The French are not keen on vaccination
Apparently over 70% of the UK accept the vaccine compared to under 50% of the French so we need to watch the uptake in France
I see BBC News are reporting the stats as less than 40% - if a European country were ever to be tardy/belligerent IMO, I'd say the French with their history of protests would always sadly be the one. Macron has a big challenge to unite the population to get their economy back on track.Apparently over 70% of the UK accept the vaccine compared to under 50% of the French so we need to watch the uptake in France

It would not surprise me if some sort of legislation was introduced. The lockdown in France is law not guidance with fines issued for transgressions.
Possibly no access to events or buildings etc without vaccinations sort of carrot and stick scenario to encourage take up.
If the government doesn't get a grip on it (and I know that's pretty tricky) then not much is happening in France this year without some serious interventions still being in place.Possibly no access to events or buildings etc without vaccinations sort of carrot and stick scenario to encourage take up.

Sebring has been cancelled and the Prologue and opening round will be at Portimao. No intentions, as yet, to alter the rest of the calendar.
Sebring hasn’t been cancelled. The FIA WEC involvement has been though. The 12 hours of Sebring is still set to go ahead. That’s and IMSA race so separate organisation. chasingracecars said:

Okay, The 1000 Miles of Sebring, the WEC season opener, has been cancelled.(I was assuming that in the context of the thread and forum sub section that would be self explanatory, but cross i's and dot t's etc)
