Race calendar and results

The 2020 calendar was released at the end of season awards ceremony for the 2019 season.^[3] The series will be traveling to Misano and Portimão for the first time with the latter also becoming the new season finale. The rounds at Hockenheimring and Silverstone have been dropped while Barcelona, and Le Castellet have new dates. On 10 March 2020, the French government banned gatherings of more than 1000 people in response to the coronavirus pandemic.^[4] As a result, the Nogaro round has been moved to July.^[5] On 27 April 2020, the final calendar was released consisting of four rounds, down from the planned six, and a dramatically changed schedule primarily focused around France with the exception of the final round at Portimão.^[6] With this new schedule, the series traveled to Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours for the first time. The series also utilized a three race format for some rounds.
