Four rounds are planned for 2021, see the 2021 Southern 32 web site for more details. The individual and Le Mans 32 events will have separate 2020 and 2021 championships. There will be one club championship calculated from both the 2020 and 2021 results. The trophies for all these championships will be presented at the final 2021 round.

Clubs are being consulted about the following ideas for the 2021 Southern 32
Restarting racing
BSCRA has produced a draft calendar for the rest of 2021 which includes four Southern 32 club meeting dates (11 Jul, 15 Aug, 3 Oct & 31 Oct ). Also there's the 20th/21st November which Paul Harwood and I have penciled in for a ProAm / Southern 32 double header at the National Centre in Corby ( a similar double header planned for Nov 2020 was one of the cancelled meetings). It seems fair to offer the 6 clubs whose 2020 rounds were cancelled first refusal for 2021 rounds, however we only have 4 dates but maybe they won't all want rounds anyway (?)
In order to get something running we should start some planning even though we know there are some difficulties such as not all clubs have set an opening date yet: the clubs who have opened may have to restrict numbers to remain covid safe: uncertainty about what the government might decide we can do after 21 June or some later date.
Championships,
A good plan would be to finalize 2020 Championship using the 3 rounds we did hold in 2020 and start again with a 2021 championship which will hopefully have 5 rounds.

The remaining 2020 Southern 32 races have been cancelled. I’m sure we are all looking forward to a time when coronavirus no longer rules so much of our daily lives, realistically the situation will not have eased sufficiently to restart the Southern 32 until 2021. Unfortunately the 2020 Roedale, Coulsdon, Luton, Won O Won, Timaru, Netley and National Centre rounds had to be cancelled. I think it’s only reasonable to give those clubs first refusal for rounds when the series restarts.

In the few days after the successful Millstream round on 15th March, Government regulations and advice concerning coronavirus changed substantially, so some thought has been given to plans for the remainder of the season’s Southern 32 events.
We have no choice but to cancel Southern 32 meetings for as long as current conditions
(or even more serious restriction on daily life ) persist. Nobody knows how
long that will be, but eventually when the Government tells us "non-
Southern 32 rounds depend on our host clubs, and if for whatever reason the host club is closed obviously there's no Southern 32 meeting. After Monday's Government announcement many clubs decided to close until further notice. Roedale is one of the clubs that is closed, they were scheduled to hold the next S32 round which at the time of writing is around 10 weeks away on 31st May.
So in summary
- Southern 32 meetings are cancelled until further notice.
- As and when Government restrictions are eventually lifted we'll aim to get the series running again as quickly as we can

* The Nats track round is a joint meeting with the ProAm series, the ProAm final round is on the Saturday and the Southern 32 is on the Sunday.
The 2020 BSCRA rule changes will apply, the main difference is allowing the JK Hawk 7 in all the “Falcon classes” The only change for 2020 is the percentage of the takings going to the host club.
