Calendar
The calendar for the 2020 championship was expected to consist of five rounds, but only three were run as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the running of the championship.
Calendar changes
- The original calendar removed the Ipswich, Newcastle and Perth rounds with Sydney Motorsport Park and Symmons Plains reinstated, having last being in the series in 2017 and 2018 respectively.[17][24] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a revised calendar resulted in the Symmons Plains and The Bend Motorsport Park rounds being cancelled.[16]
- The Bathurst 250 km race was split into two races of 125 km. The change was made as the mandatory refuelling in pit stops proved to be problematic in 2019.[25]
Rule changes
Sporting regulations
The series was to have seen an increase in the prize money awarded, with the champion to be given $400,000 as a way to secure funding into the Supercars Championship. A "Rookie" class aimed at drivers under the age of 25 was planned, with the winner to be awarded $100,000 to secure a second year in the series. This was done to help young drivers into the Supercars Championship as part of the Junior Development Program.[17] As a result the COVID-19 pandemic, both were shelved.[26]
