Assen, Donington and Qatar WorldSBK rounds finally cancelled

WorldSBK bosses have finally had to cancel the postponed Donington, Assen and Qatar rounds due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It will be the first time in the series’ history that there won’t be a race in Britain while Assen has been a permanent fixture on the calendar since 1992, ending a streak of the longest continually serving venue in WorldSBK.

“I am personally very sad to announce the subsequent cancellations of the three rounds,” said sporting director Greg Lavilla.

“As a fan of our sport, I am extremely saddened not to go to WorldSBK’s birthplace at Donington Park and the ‘Cathedral of Speed’ at Assen, a track which has featured on our calendar uninterrupted since 1992. I am equally as sad not to not have the spectacle of a night race in Qatar, always something we look forward to.

“We explored all avenues in order to find a solution but unfortunately, one could not be found. However, this mustn’t cast a cloud over the Championship.

“The majority of our events in 2020 will happen and plans for a full, complete 2021 are well underway. We would like to thank everyone involved for their tireless work and cooperation, and also the fans for waiting patiently before our season resumes.”
