2020 Formula Renault Eurocup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2020 Formula Renault Eurocup was a multi-event motor racing championship for open-wheel, formula racing cars held across Europe. The championship featured drivers competing in 1.8 litre Formula Renault single-seat race cars that conform to the technical regulations of Formula Regional. The 2020 season was the 30th and final season Eurocup Formula Renault organised by Renault Sport, as it merged with the Formula Regional European Championship for the 2021 season.[1] The series visited nine circuits around Europe.[2] The championship was won by Victor Martins, with ART Grand Prix taking the teams' title.[3]

Teams and drivers[edit]

In September 2019, ART Grand Prix announced its intention to compete in the championship for the first time since 2003.[4] Their bid was successful, with the team joining eight other teams from 2019.[5] On 3 July 2020 it was announced that Global Racing Service had withdrawn from the season due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

Calendar[edit]

The provisional calendar for the 2020 season was announced on 11 September 2019.[2]

On 15 May 2020, Renault Sport unveiled a new 10-round calendar, after multiple postponements and cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[35] The revised calendar included races at Magny-Cours for the first time since 2010, as well as a return to Imola and Zandvoort, where the series had last raced in 2004 and 2000 respectively. The rounds at Monaco, the Hungaroring and Silverstone were not rescheduled and were absent from the revised calendar.[36] On 25 September 2020, it was announced that the series would support the 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola to make up for the loss of the Monaco round.[37]
