Alon Day was crowned as the champion after winning 4 races and finishing all 10 races inside the Top-10. Day becomes the second three-time champion of Euro Series, tying Ander Vilariño for the most titles in history. During the course of the season, Day broke Vilariño's record for the most wins in the series when he won his 23rd career victory in the second race at Valencia.[1] Rookie Lasse Sørensen finished second after scoring two race wins on his debut year in the EuroNASCAR PRO division, while defending champion Loris Hezemans finished third having scored two race wins. Gianmarco Ercoli and Stienes Longin were the other two race winners of 2020 after winning a single race at Vallelunga and Rijeka respectively.

In the EuroNASCAR 2 division, Hendriks Motorsport driver Vittorio Ghirelli won the title after winning 5 races and finished 9 races inside the Top-10.

Vladimiros Tziortzis, the first Cypriot driver in NASCAR, finished fourth while Julia Landauer finished fifth.

Calendar changes

edit
  • On October 16, 2019, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series announced that NASCAR GP Italy will move to ACI Vallelunga Circuit, ending the series' three-year stay at Autodromo di Franciacorta. Vallelunga also moves back to September as the fifth round of the season, with Brands Hatch, Most, and Venray moving one spot ahead as a result.[79]
  • The NASCAR GP Germany at Hockenheim and NASCAR GP Belgium at Zolder swapped places, with Zolder now hosting the sixth round while Hockenheim is scheduled to host the season-finale round for the first time.
  • The double-points Playoffs will be extended from the last two rounds of the season to the last three rounds of the season.

Calendar changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic

edit
  • On 12 March 2020, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series announced that they will postpone the Valencia NASCAR Fest due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Valencia is originally rescheduled to 31 October-1 November but it was later rescheduled to 5–6 December in the revised calendar.[80][81]
  • After Motorsport UK announced on 24 March 2020 that they will extend the suspension of any motor racing activities in United Kingdom until 30 June due to the pandemic, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series announced that the American Speedfest VIII at Brands Hatch, originally scheduled to be held on 6–7 June, will be postponed.[82]
  • On 16 May 2020, Euro Series President Jérôme Galpin states in an interview with AUTOhebdo that the 2020 season will be starting in early September, with 5 of the 7 scheduled rounds are confirmed to be staying in the revised calendar.[83]
  • On 19 May 2020, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series announced that the OMV MaxxMotion NASCAR Show at Autodrom Most will be postponed until 14–15 November. On the same announcement, it's also announced that the round at Venray will be postponed while the rounds at Vallelunga, Zolder, and Hockenheim will be keeping their original dates in the revised calendar.[81]
  • On 12 June 2020, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series announced the following revisions for the 2020 season calendar:[84]
    • The NASCAR GP Netherlands at Raceway Venray has been cancelled, leaving the series with 12 races in 6 rounds as opposed to the scheduled 13 races in 7 rounds.
    • The Valencia NASCAR Fest at Circuit Ricardo Tormo will be rescheduled to 5–6 December as the scheduled final round of the season.
    • The American Speedfest at Brands Hatch will be keeping its slot in the revised calendar, although a date for the round has not been determined yet.
  • On 23 July 2020, it was announced that the American Speedfest round at Brands Hatch will be cancelled, leaving the series with 10 races in 5 rounds for the 2020 season.[85]
  • On 24 August 2020, it was announced that the 2020 edition of the American Fan Fest at Hockenheim has been cancelled. A second round at Valencia, titled NASCAR GP de la Comunitat Valenciana, is scheduled to replace Hockenheim in the revised calendar as part of the Valencia Super Speedweek doubleheader round. The Valencia NASCAR Fest round, renamed EuroNASCAR Finals Spain for 2020, will award double points.[86] The names for both rounds were subsequently retitled into NASCAR GP Spain and EuroNASCAR Finals during the Super Speedweek itself.
  • On 23 October 2020, it was announced that the 2020 edition of OMV MaxxMotion NASCAR Show at Most has been cancelled due to recent COVID-19 restrictions. A new round at Croatia's Automotodrom Grobnik, titled NASCAR GP Croatia, will replace Most in the revised calendar.[87]

Rule changes

edit
  • All classes will be rebranded starting from the 2020 season, with the Elite 1, Elite 2, and the regularity-based Elite Club classes are set to be renamed as EuroNASCAR PRO, EuroNASCAR 2, and EuroNASCAR Club Challenge respectively.
  • Teams are required to use only a set of tires per driver for an entire race weekend, with two of the tires used must be reused in the next event.[88]
  • The allocation of 20 tires per driver will be extended to include tires used in practice sessions.[88]

Changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic

edit
  • On 1 September 2020, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series announced the following changes to the sporting regulations:[89]
    • All race results will count to the final championship standings. Previously, drivers can drop their worst result from the non-playoff races from their final points tally.
    • A race weekend can be held with two possible formats: The traditional three-day format or a compact two-day format. The two-day format will see all EuroNASCAR 2 class activities being held on Saturday, while all EuroNASCAR PRO class activities are going to be held on Sunday. Vallelunga will use the compact format, while Zolder will be using the traditional format. The race week format used for the remaining three rounds are currently unknown.
    • Teams must bring a limited number of personnel for each car they are fielding.
    • All briefings will be held online and remotely via a digital platform.
    • Each round's safety procedures will be adjusted based on each local situation and regulations, with the safety procedures used are going to be announced before each round.
