Please find enclosed the Press Release / FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championships 2020 Calendar UPDATE 1 July.

Rally Kazakhstan cancelled
Due to the ongoing Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Kazakhstan and Worldwide, the Automotosport Federation of the Republic for Kazakhstan and the FIM regret to announce that they have had to make difficult decision to cancel Rally Kazakhstan in 2020 rescheduled to 14 to 20 September. The Rally Organising Committee had great hopes of a speedy improvement in the global situation, with the relaxation of the imposed quarantine and other various restrictions in connection with the pandemic.

However, with a heavy heart and in accordance with government advice, the organisers have had no choice but to cancel the event in order to ensure their main priority, which as always is the health and safety of all participants, officials, volunteers and fans.

As a consequence, the final classification of the FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship and World Cups will be established on the basis of the 2020 revised FIM calendar.

The decisions were made after careful consideration and consultation with the FIM, BSI Speedway and the local venues, as well as MFR in Russia and DMSB in Germany, with the health and safety of supporters, riders and staff remaining the top priority.

Following discussions with the Anatoly Stepanov Stadium and Bergring Arena, we are pleased to announce that both the Russian FIM Speedway Grand Prix, and the Aztorin German FIM Speedway Grand Prix will return in 2021. The Aztorin German FIM Speedway Grand Prix will take place on Saturday 22 May, while the Russian FIM Speedway Grand Prix’s timing will be announced at a later date.
