Suzuka 8 Hours Canceled T he Suzuka 8 Hours, sched- uled to take place November 7 in Japan, has been canceled. A new European race, the 8 Hours of Most in the Czech Republic, has been added to the calendar to replace the 8 Hours of Oschersleben, initially sched- uled to take place in May. The 8 Hours of Most, set for October 9, will be the 2021 final of the FIM Endurance World Cham- pionship and the FIM Endur- ance World Cup. Points will be increased by 150%, meaning 45 points are available for the win- ner of the race in each class. "An exponential increase in the number of people infected with Covid-19 in Japan after the Olympic Games means that the Japanese Government will now not permit the Suzuka 8 Hours to go ahead as planned," said Jorge Viegas, Presi- dent of the FIM. "On behalf of the FIM I would like to offer a word of optimism for the future, since I am confident that this flagship event will come back stronger than ever."
