Rally Finland has become the latest major motorsport event to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, delaying the resumption of the 2020 WRC season even further.
Finland was set to host the next round of the World Rally Championship on August 6th to 9th, but organizers announced on Wednesday that although the coronavirus situation has improved in the Nordic country, it is unsure whether travel restrictions will be relaxed in the coming months to allow international participants to enter Finland.
Therefore the event has been called off from this years calendar, along with races in Portugal and Kenya, and will not run until 2021.
The 2020 WRC season has been on an extended pause since March because of the coronavirus pandemic, with only 3 of the original 13 rounds completed so far.
