The DEWALT SXS Motorsport Australia Championship has announced its revised 2020 calendar with three rounds to form part of this year’s championship.
 
Originally scheduled to begin in July, the ongoing COVID-19 situation forced a postponement to those plans.
 
However with restrictions expected to ease by the end of September, the Championship will now look to start the season in October. 
 
All three rounds of the Championship will take place in Victoria with October’s first round at Mafeking Rover Park in Caveat before the Championship heads to Traralgon Motor Cycle Club in early November. 
 
The season will then wrap up at the start of December with the Monza Park in Mt Helen.
 
 
DEWALT SXS Motorsport Australia Championship founder Sam Beck was pleased a calendar could be confirmed amongst all the uncertainly currently taking place in the country. 
 
“It’s been a long wait, but we’re pretty excited to be able to finally announce the new dates and hopefully we’ll be racing soon,” Beck said.
 
“While it is a shame we can’t get around to multiple states this year, if we can squeeze three rounds in this year, then that is an achievement in itself, even if it’s just in Victoria. We will of course be keeping a close eye on the ongoing restrictions and border closures, as well as working with Motorsport Australia and implementing details outlined in its Return To Race strategy.
 
“A big thanks to all the people who worked on getting this together, as well as the venues for getting behind the Championship.”
 
The 2020 DEWALT SXS Motorsport Australia Championship season opener takes place at Mafeking Rover Park in Caveat on 10 October, 2020.
