This year's Asia Road Racing Championships (ARRC) are expected to be shortened.
Its promoter, Two Wheels Motor Racing (TWMR), will likely run a compacted four-round season.
TWMR director Ron Hogg said a scaled back calendar would be the most pragmatic option for the series due to Covid-19 travel and activity restrictions across the region.
Last year, the ARRC was cancelled due to the pandemic.
"At the moment, the two countries we are looking at to host the races are Thailand and Malaysia," said Ron.
"We are still waiting for clearance to run the races (from respective governments) and are hoping to get a better picture of the situation soon.
"We are looking at hosting four races this year, which is the minimum amount of races required for us to complete a championship season.
"We will run at least two rounds back-to-back at one venue to minimise the travel time and quarantine process for the teams.
This season's ARRC calendar originally featured six rounds, and was scheduled to kick off with the Sepang round on June 4-6, but was postponed due to a spike in Covid cases.
TWMR later announced the cancellation of the China (July 30-Aug 1) and Australian (Sept 23-26) rounds in July.
