The Yamaha Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC) has made the decision to cancel Round 9 and 10 of the Championship which was to be held at Wynyard Tasmania on October 17 and 18.
“Due to the recent announcement by the Tasmanian government of state border restrictions and closure until December, unfortunately this has made the Tasmanian round impossible to go ahead,” AORC said in a statement.
AORC will continue to monitor state government COVID-19 restrictions and the potential impacts they may have on the current remaining 2020 championship date.
At this stage there is one final weekend scheduled for AORC on November 14 and 15. The venue for that round is yet to be confirmed although will be announced in the coming weeks.
AORC said they appreciate the efforts of all who support the championship – riders, officials, host clubs and sponsors – and thanks them for their support and patience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“AORC continues to be devoted to racing in 2020 and we will keep you up to date as the information is made available.”
AORC said both they and the Tasmanian government remain committed to having the Championship event in Tasmania and will look to explore this for the future.
