Following
the
cancelation
of the
2020

to the
pandemic,
some
fans
elected
to
transfer
their
tickets
from
last
year’s
event to
the 2021
Grand
Prix. As
the
Grand
Prix
honors
those
commitments
from its
loyal
fans,
the
event is
reaching
out to
those
ticket
buyers
this
week to
review
their

that

for a
refund
as a
result
of the
cancelation
in 2020,
along
with
fans
that
registered
for a
pre-sale
period
in 2021,
will
also
have the
opportunity
in the
coming
days to
buy

for this
