The World Endurance Champ🐼ionship’s 6 Hours of Spa-Francorcham🌠ps round in April has been postponed amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The Spaꦓ round, which was due to be held on April 25 as the final WEC race before the Le Mans 24 Hours finale i🧜n June, has become the latest motorsport event casualty of the COVID-19 outbreak.

It follows the cancellation of the 1000 Miles of Sebring 🌸- scheduled to take place this weekend on March 20 - as a result of the trave꧃l ban to the United States from mainland Europe.

In a statement, WEC said the promoter, Circuit de𓃲 Spa-Francorchamps and the RACB are working together to find aꦇ new date and will communicate this once finalised.

“In view of the continued global spread of COVID-🙈19, and after discussions with the ch🧔ampionship promoter, its local partners and the RACB, the decision has been taken to postpone the 7th round of the FIA World Endurance Championship’s 2019-2020 season,” the statement read.

WEC boss Gerard Neveu added: “This decision was t🧸he only responsible option to be taken at this tim🐭e.

“ﷺThe health and well-being of our competitors, fans and members of the padℱdock has to remain our priority.

“We are working on a revised date for the 6 Hours of Spa and wi💜ll communicate that as soon as possible.”

WEC also said that all tickets already purchased for the 6 Hours of Spa will r🌊emain valid for the rescheduled date, with those unable to attend in line for reimbursement via the official ticket seller (Ti𝔍cketmaster).
