Nothing special. And some mistakes... To say the truth, I dont like this "draft" versions made of nothing published on serious sites, when readers should have impression it is official info.

National 2wd champ, Gil Antunes, confirmed on a Dacia R4. Apparently it’s the R4 debut at the ERC.

[Luis Pacheco]

The race is about to be canceled. The decision will be made tonight. At best it will be postponed to September.

The race is about to be canceled. The decision will be made tonight. At best it will be postponed to September.

Official website of the rally still doesn't say anything about it:
"Although this is a constantly evolving situation, as of 9 March there has been no order issued to postpone the 55th Azores Rallye."

More info in the morning...

[MartijnS]

The 55th Azores Rallye has been postponed to a later date due to the widespread coronavirus outbreak.

Massive shame but better to be safe. Hopefully it will happen later in the year.

Great news, there’s already a new date (subject to FIA validation) for Rally Azores: 17-19 September (between Barum and Chyprus) https://www.fiaerc.com/erc-azores-rallye-rescheduled-for-17-19-september-2020/

Cyprus (ERC) and Germany (WRC) on the same weekend, I don't think the FIA approves that...

[Rally Power]

With so many events from major motorsport series being postponed, the FIA will hardly care about calendar clashes. Nothing can be worse to the sport than having events canceled.

Today is closing date for entries to Azores Virtual Rally. More info here - http://www.azoresrallye.com/noticias/countdown-for-azores-virtual-rallye-as-already-started/

The health authority of the Azores will not allow spectators in the rally. It will be, apparently, a rally behind closed doors.

Let's wait for the next episodes.

Rally Fafe Montelongo could be the replacement.

[PLuto]

Unfortunatelly, after big fight during the weekend, organisers are forced to announce bad news - http://www.azoresrallye.com/noticias/azores-rallye-will-not-take-place-in-2020/

Really sad news - one of the iconic events of the ERC in recent years. :(

Mixed feelings…gutted for Açores but excited for Fafe; Montelongo tarmac event is a provisional solution but from 2021 we can have a new ERC iconic event in Fafe mythic gravel stages. Fingers crossed!
