A statement issued by Hamove Chairman Fred Versteege via Hamove’s official website stated:
“Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions by the government, the board sees no possibilities to organize the HAMOVE Road Race on our Varsselring circuit during the first weekend of May.
To bring about a Corona-proof event, May 1 and 2 is too early. It was difficult to find a replacement date, but we have found a best option on September 4 and 5, 2021. We hope to have more ‘freedom’ by then.”
The updated 2021 IRRC calendar reads as follows:
2nd-4th July: Imatranajo
23rd-25th July: Circuit De Chimay
14th-15th August: Horice
4th-5th September: Hengelo, Varsselring
18th-19th September: Frohburger Dreieck
