Race calendar and results

edit

The initial calendar was released on 10 January 2020.[18] On 10 April 2020 the series announced a revised calendar, delaying the start of the season due to the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic. The second Nürburgring event supported the 2020 24 Hours of Nürburgring, while the other rounds supported the 2020 ADAC GT Masters.[19] Another altered 7-round calendar was released on 24 May 2020.[20] The sixth race weekend of the season was moved from Circuit Zandvoort to Lausitzring due to the high number of infections in the Netherlands and the classification as a risk area by the German government.[21]
