The 2020 Race of Champions was the 5th running of the GPVWC Race of Champions and marks the return of the event since 2015. The event was held at the 19th and 20th of November. Unlike previous years, the 2020 Race of Champions only had a individual event.

Prior to these postponements, the Team event was moved into one day on November 4th - instead of the usual two-day format - in order to ensure a higher quality event overall after a surprisingly low amount of confirmations of availability from drivers for the event. This would have resulted in some teams receiving byes through to the second round.

Cars Used

  • VW Funcup
  • Radical
  • Renault Megané
  • Streetstocks (Nascar)
  • USF2000

Formats

The Team Event included 32 drivers - 16 drivers who had a seeded rank meaning they did well in the 2020 championships, and 16 unranked drivers who not necessary had a good 2020 racing season, the unranked drivers also included former race winners who signed up very late.

To guarantee a fair and balanced competition, their was a random draw.

The Individual Event followed a slightly different format, taking 16 of the best available drivers from 2015; all chosen from the same categories as before. The drivers were then organised into four groups of 4 with care taken to base group selection on inverted ranking orders once again. All 4 drivers within a group would face each other with the two drivers winning the most races advancing to a more standard knock-out format. The entire event was held on November 3rd.

Knock-Out Format

Each 'match-up' will be comprised of a maximum of five, one 'full-lap' - twice over the line - races in a best-of-five format. This gives each driver in the pairing the opportunity to race both opponents. If a tie-break is required then the driver from each team with the least wins will go head to head to decide which team progresses to the next stage of the competition. For example;

  • Driver 1 vs Driver 3
  • Driver 2 vs Driver 4
  • Driver 1 vs Driver 4
  • Driver 2 vs Driver 3
  • - Tie Break if Required -
