The emergency measures triggered by the coronavirus are affecting sports events on a global scale and have forced us to review the schedules, we expect the actual competition to resume in end of June and propose to keep the championship staying in China only.
When the spread of the coronavirus requests us to keep our distance to stay safe, FRD decided to launch the Formula Renault AsiaCup eRacing Series during these times of social separation, to keep drivers engaged until it’s possible to return to the racetracks again.
The Formula Renault AsiaCup eRacing Series will contain 3 events, welcomes series drivers, non-series drivers, race fans and friends to participate.
