19.-20. “Neste World RX of Riga” – “Monster Energy” FIA World Rallycross Championship stage, which has previously gathered as many as 30,000 spectators in one weekend, will take place for the fifth time on September 20 at the Bikernieki track. Unfortunately, 2020 has come with the Covid-19 pandemic and the ensuing restrictions, which currently set a limit of 3,000 spectators for outdoor events in Latvia, as well as the need to respect 2 meters of social distance.

“If someone at the end of last year, when we started selling” Neste World RX of Riga “entrance tickets, we would have been told that we will not be able to organize the world championship stage as we are used to seeing – widely visited, with various entertaining activities and relentless life. “At the moment, there is nothing left but to accept the new rules and the new format in which events, including sports competitions, can take place,” said Raimonds Strokšs, Director of RA Events.

Without the significant number of visitors, other important changes for spectators will also affect the team members’ park, which will be closed to spectators, there will be no fan zone, autograph sessions and a public award ceremony. It is important for foreign visitors of the competition to point out that no camping area will be created this year.

“At the same time, I would like to emphasize that at a time when competitions are taking place behind closed doors elsewhere, we have an almost unique opportunity to hold World RX stages with fans. However, for that to happen, we all have to adapt to national restrictions. we can accommodate only a part of their maximum capacity in the grandstands, but it is financially impossible to build temporary structures, because, taking into account social distance, the ticket price must be almost four times higher – than it was a year ago, so this year’s popular B sector will not be available. , but the stands of the Bikernieki track will be used, “said Strokšs.

“In order to find the best solution in these unexpected and changing circumstances, we decided to divide the spectators who have already purchased the” Neste World RX of Riga “entrance ticket into days – some to be admitted on Saturday and some on Sunday. Thus, spectators will be able to see one full “The FIA ​​World Championship stage, as well as part of the European Championship and Projekt E stage, which will take place throughout the weekend,” continues Strokšs.

The established number of visitors and distance requirements also mean that the number of entrance tickets sold so far reaches the “new” capacity of the stands of the CSDD Biķernieki track. Thus, “Neste World RX of Riga” will be able to watch from the seats in the stands this year only those visitors who bought the entrance tickets in time.

Holders of purchased entrance tickets are asked to carefully review the following changes:
