Calendar and results

The initial calendar was released on 29 September 2019 with 7 rounds scheduled across Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Czech Republic.[16] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic on 16 March 2020 the pre-season test and the opening round, both scheduled to be held at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, were cancelled.[17][18] The first revision of the calendar saw Autodrom Most in August as the season opener.[19] On 24 May 2020 the final version of the calendar was published with the round at the Autodrom Most replaced by a round at the Lausitzring.[20][21]
