Mꦏotorsport UK chairman David Richards ad🌠ded: “Clearly we live in challenging times and exceptional measures are required.

“The decision to suᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚspend Motorsport UK permits on a temporary basis is not one that was taken lightly as the industry employs many thousands of people. However we have an over-riding responsibility to our 🔥members and the friends and families of our community.

“Furthermo🔯re, our social responsibilities extend to the broader population and the potential drain on valuable public hea🎃lth resources on which we are all reliant.

“The s൩ituation is very fluid and we will continue to monitor developments over the coming weeks and hope that we can resume the annual motorsport calendar at the opportune moment.

“In the immediate short term our efforts need to be focused on ensuring that t🐭he industry that backs up the sport has the financial support that it requires from the Government in order that it can be sustained beyond this extraordinary scenario.”
