3. Japan (at risk)
4. Brazil (at risk)
Not listed but also have to be considered at risk
5. Mexico

Japan is now cancelled. Don't understand it - they had the olympics.
But that puts Turkey at risk. Turkey is on the red list. Turkey only worked if Japan was on the schedule - because basically their time in Japan took care of the UK quarantine requirements and coming back from Japan they only had to take a covid test.
Mexico and Brazil are also on the red list.
F1 said they will be releasing a revised schedule in the coming weeks (I assume maybe next week).

It really sucks not knowing how long the season will be, and how much it will be modified. I really don't have a big problem if they double up races, but missing out on good tracks sucks as well.

Qatar is announced for the Nov 21 race in 2021. They also signed a 10 year agreement starting in 2023.
Thanks Eddie. I don't know how it is in other countries but it would be pretty disappointing if all we got in the UK was Youtube highlights if you haven't got the Rally TV app!
