This is great news for motorsport enthusiasts! While track days and testing was a common sight at both circuits, one has to see how many individual folk are willing to risk going back to the circuits, considering that the Covid-19 virus is still claiming patients by the thousands. In addition, e-Sports have taken center stage over the last few months and is expected to grow exponentially over the next couple of years.
