The COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak has caused many events to be canceled or postponed internationally, and now the FIA World Rallycross Championship season-opener has also been postponed. It was set to be held at Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona on 18/19 April.

"In light of the Generalitat de Catalunya’s decree to currently suspend all live sporting events in response to the evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation, this year’s World RX of Catalunya-Barcelona on April 18-19 has been postponed," the World RX statement said.

"This decision was made after careful consideration and consultation with the FIA, the Spanish ASN, and the local event organizer, as the health and safety of everyone involved remains the top priority."

"We are looking into an alternative date for the event in conjunction with the local event organizer. We will provide further updates as we have them."
