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.

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.
