Race calendar and results

edit

The calendar featuring 4 rounds and 14 races was announced on 31 March.[2][3] The date of the second round at Wuhan Street Circuit and double points for races at Guia Circuit were confirmed on 24 May.[4] On 27 May, all the outdoor sports, including motorsports, were suspended in China until further notice in order to revise safety protocols in the aftermath of Gansu ultramarathon disaster.[5] On the same day, the opening round at Zhuhai International Circuit was postponed.[6] The revised calendar was communicated to the teams on 30 August. The rounds at Wuhan Street Circuit and Ningbo International Circuit were cancelled while Zhuhai International Circuit was set to host two rounds.[7] The planned opening round was once again postponed one week afterwards and later moved to Ningbo to its original date.[8] The round in Ningbo was once again postponed, this time 3–5 December, making it the season's finale.[9]
