Championship organisers have commited to rescheduling the round to maintain a seven-outing schedule for the 2021 national championship.

All interstate competitors will be eligible for a refund of entry and garage fees.

Organisers have also flagged that the Queensland Raceway round, due to take place August 6-8, may also be impacted by COVID restrictions and border closures.
