Official 2023 Emilio-Romagna Grand Prix Race Thread - Round 6 (Cancelled)

[englishpremier]

Yeah they'll run it no problem, might be a bit of a panic though, when was the last gp cancelled? They never cancel anything.

Pretty sure a few have been cancelled. Aus, China spring to mind.

Oh yeah of course, covid related. At oz they were all there weren't they so maybe.

Italian Deputy PM calling for the race to be cancelled, I can't see it happening

 

[UTmaniac]

Better to cancel or postpone, than repeat the farce race at Spa we had following the safety car for two laps, due to a storm passing through.

But then where would the controversy be?

 

[chrismscotland]

I suppose they could do a "covid" and hold the race behind closed doors but would cost a fortune to refund fans

 

[chrismscotland]

Suggestions they've decided to cancel and move it to the weekend after Spa in August

[Mr Jack]

Looks to be clearly the right decision, but a shame none-the-less.

Official - Race is cancelled

Shame, but it's best to call it off now so everyone's aware rather than drag it out

 

[chrismscotland]

Far better to do it today than leave it until later in the week.

Hopefully they might be able to reschedule later in the season

 

[Slam62]

Blimey a sensible decision all a bit of a reality check after miami

 

[Mr Jack]

Far better to do it today than leave it until later in the week.

Absolutely

Hopefully they might be able to reschedule later in the season

Seems unlikely. The calendar is already slammed.

6/10, much better race than anything else this season.

There's been suggestions that the week after Spa is being looked at (just into the Summer Break I think?) Ah well Monaco next, should be a snooze

5/10 for me. I enjoyed the drama this weekend. Far more excitement than the DRS driveby overtakes we've become accustomed to. Shame we didn't see Merc's full potential from the upgrades..

 

[Feek]

Oh that's a shame but looking at the conditions, it's clearly the best decision. Hopefully it will be able to be rescheduled for later in the season.

This didn't age well!

I'd like to see them (or maybe some drivers will take it upon themselves) replace it with something for local relief charities like all/most of the drivers competing in an online sim race
