Calendar edit

A 2020 calendar was announced on 29 July 2019 at SRO's annual press conference at the 2019 24 Hours of Spa. However, as a result of the coronavirus crisis SRO had to revise its schedule and an updated calendar was released on 13 May 2020.^[1] The season finale at Circuit de Lédenon on 6–8 November was cancelled due to the restrictions caused by COVID-19 pandemic in France^[2] and replaced by the competition at Circuit Paul Ricard on 20–22 November.^[3]
