2020 Super Taikyu Series

The 2020 Super Taikyu Series is the 29th season of the Super Taikyu Series. The season starts on 23rd March at Suzuka Circuit but was postponed to 4th September at Fuji Speedway due to COVID-19 and the Fuji 24 Hours will serve as the opening round.


The season was cut short to 5 rounds instead of 6 after a state of emergency in Japan forced to cancel the final round at Suzuka, promoting championship leader No.888 Mercedes-AMG Team HIRIX Racing as the Champion with 105 points.
