NSW Formula Ford event cancelled due to ongoing COVID-19 outbreak

The Sydney round of the NSW Formula Ford Championship has been cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in the city.

The Australian Racing Drivers' Club (ARDC) issued a statement on Wednesday, informing drivers, teams, and fans that the NSW Motor Racing Championship round on July 31 - August 1 had been cancelled.

The Formula Ford event will not be replaced, shortening the 2021 NSW championship to four rounds.

"Given the current information and recommendations  from the NSW Govt, ARDC feel that the only socially responsible thing to do, is to CANCEL the upcoming Motorsport Australia NSW MRC R5", said the operators of Sydney Motorsport Park.

"ARDC always has, and will continue to, hold the health and wellbeing of ALL of their customers, their Officials and their staff in the highest regard."

"In the current climate, with the current advice that the Lockdown has been extended until Midnight FRIDAY 30TH JULY, ARDC feel it is the only reasonable action that can be taken."

"We do apologise that yet again we will be cancelling an event, but know you will appreciate it is the best result at this stage for all."

Full refunds will be issued for all competitors.
