Hide AdA statement from Hughie’s family and Surrey Car Meet said: “It’s with regret that we have to announce the cancellation of Hughie’s Supercar Sunday on June 28.
“Given the recent announcements from the Government regarding Covid-19 and the subsequent advice to cancel large events/gatherings we have decided to cancel this year’s event given that we anticipate over 5,000 people would be attending.
“We will of course be back in 2021 bigger and better than ever and we would like to thank everyone so much for all the support they have given the event over the last three years.”
Hughie died in August 2016.
