Race calendar

On 27 November 2020 French Federation of Automobile Sport announced a seven-round calendar with the round supporting provisionally 2021 French Grand Prix. On 20 January 2021, FFSA Academy announced another round at Magny-Cours in October instead as the idea was dropped.[1] The round at Circuit de Lédenon was postponed from 27 to 29 August to 10–12 September due to the clash of FFSA GT Championship, the main event, with 2021 GT World Challenge Europe.[8][9]
