The 2020 Formula Renault AsiaCup was a planned multi-event motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars held across Asia. The championship would see drivers competing in Tatuus-F3R-spec cars with FR-19 Renault engines. The 2020 season would have been the inaugural season of the championship, following the rebranding of the Asian Formula Renault Series to align with the Formula Renault Eurocup.[1] The season was cancelled in November 2020 due to customs restrictions in China because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
Planned calendar
editThe first calendar was announced on 23 December 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a revised calendar was announced on 19 February 2020.[3] This calendar was amended even further on 21 May 2020,[4] and then again on 16 June 2020, which left the series with two events at Zhuhai International Circuit.[5] In November 2020, the season was abandoned.
