The Pure ETCR will conclude its first season on the Pau-Arnos circuit instead of Korea.
The Coronavirus pandemic will not allow the Asian trip, which was planned together with the FIA WTCR. The promoter Eurosport Events has revised the calendar of the top touring series, so it has also had to change that of the electric championship.
The French track will therefore host both categories on the weekend of 15-17 October, which was the same as planned for the Inje Speedium, with the first FR Race in history.
The Pau-Arnos circuit is located 20km from the transalpine city and is equipped with advanced technology for electromobility. It measures 3,030km and guarantees a charging point for electric vehicles, in what is a much larger project that local authorities are putting in place for zero-emissions.
