As expected, Luftgekuhlt 7 in South Carolina (originally May, then re-scheduled to Nov) has been pushed out to sometime in 2021.

This has me wondering when Porsche will schedule Rennsport Reunion VII, which was slated for 2021 but I imagine will be bumped to 2022 or further.

Hoping things improve by the spring (for obvious reasons, not just cars)!

Absolutely the right decision, and no surprise at all. Even when they rescheduled to the Fall I figured it was unlikely given case trends and public behavior . 2020 was never going to happen for me anyway, or the Valkyrie Run there, so at least I can still dream of next year.

Just say cancelled. I mean, really, when an annual event gets postponed to the following year, they really mean they cancelled it.

Well, they already have everyone’s money. So they can’t ‘cancel’ it unless they offer to return the ‘ monies’ .

While it’s technically not an annual event, I think they need to keep it the same general vicinity whenever it happens, otherwise refunds should be an option.

We explored other markets and options, but after thorough consideration the team decided the right thing to do is to allow more time before delivering our 7th happening.
