The support from our loyal teams and drivers during these challenging times is incredible and we extend our gratitude to them for their unwavering support. We must also acknowledge the work of the FIA and Max Rendina, Bruno De Pianto and all the team at Motorsport Italia for their dedication and solution-driven approach to organising what we expect will be a fantastic start to the 2020 ERC season.”
