A few weeks ago, this news caused a shock. And this is for two reasons. Firstly, because no one really expected the cancellation of the Geneva Motor Show. And for good reason, it was already closed in 2020 and was not organized last year due to the Covid-19 epidemic. At the time, fans eagerly awaited this new edition, which ultimately also did not see the light of day, organizers feared a new wave of infections this winter. But the big surprise was, first of all, the announcement of the transfer of the Geneva Motor Show… to Qatar. The decision, to put it mildly, is surprising, although it has already been announced that both releases will be held in parallel. The event will be held only by Fr Doha.
