No USGP this year? Austin health official says "no"

June 1 and the new surge has begun.....

MotoGP went back on calendar too, but...…...

 

I really don't see any air travel allowed in at this point...

Anyone seen signs for new flight dates?
US has isolated itself, too little too late, but there it is.....

 

Air travel to and from the US will reopen of course -the US tourism industry needs the billions in income from International guests again asap- but when is the question. I would guess in the fall. Europe is not sure when it will reopen borders to non EU/Schengen visitors either. Here in the old world they are encouraging us to stay in our own country for our summer holidays...that's ok I have two passports;-) Of course F1 could arrange for everyone to come in on specially allowed charter flights as may be the case for the Austrian GP X2 just officially allowed by the govt there. The freight always flies on dedicated jumbo cargo jets anyway.

I have cars to try for articles in Phoenix and others things to do in SoCal but until transatlantic travel is allowed again I just have to wait...thank God I am not as impatient as I used to be or I'd go nuts! Would love to see the GP at Austin one day and drive that circuit, the high speed esses are incredible, so happy that the US has a proper GP circuit now after all the horrible street races here and there and the Indy infield which I found unworthy.

 

Why would you put a race in a **** hole like that?

 

At the rate this is spreading in Brazil, I won't be surprised to see it mutate with their urban bat populations that already carry novel alphacoronavirus (CDC reported this in 2013) and then it gets worse for a second wave. Spanish Flu was far worse in its second wave when it mutated to a more lethal form. Brazil GP won't be happening for a while along with international tourism.

 

Brazil is in major trouble and with a dangerous lunatic at the helm...

 

I don’t think international air travel into the US is restricted anymore. There are special processing procedures at special “gateway” airports, but I think flights are coming in and out.

It is still very much restricted.

Only US citizens and legal residents may fly from Europe to the US now and likewise the other way, only European citizens and legal residents may fly here. Several American friends of ours have second homes here in Burgundy (France) and cannot fly over from the US yet, then when the border reopens for them they will have to quarantine 2 weeks in their homes. The EU and the US will most likely agree for synchronized border reopenings but when is the question. Neither the US state department nor the French interior ministry websites give any clue as to when the restrictions will be lifted, it all depends on the virus numbers getting low enough that they feel it is safe to lift them, I hope within a month, early July...

Brazil for example will have a much longer travel restriction considering they are maybe not even at their peak and their president is awol calling it a little flu. Likewise other south American countries also quite affected.

Borders within Europe are only now beginning to open. The border from France to Switzerland for example reopens June 15.

 

Thanks. I didn’t know that.
