The 2020 TCR Denmark Touring Car Series (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2020 HC Container TCR Denmark Touring Car Series) was the inaugural season of the TCR Denmark Touring Car Series. [1] The season started on the 18/19 April at Jyllandsringen and concluded on the 10/11 October at Padborg Park. [2]
Five events were set to take place in Denmark. Two of the former rounds were scheduled to be supporting the STCC TCR Scandinavia Touring Car Championship. [3]
Each round consisted of three 15-minute and 1-lap races, the starting order for the first race was based on the results from qualifying while the second race utilised a reversed grid of the top eight cars from qualifying. The third and final race had its grid decided by the most points gathered from the first two races. [4]
The 2020 calendar was announced on 17 December 2019 with the addition of a round supporting the Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix announced on 19 February 2020. [2] [5] [6]
The opening round of the season was then moved to 2–3 May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [7] Round 2 of the championship, that was due to take place in Aarhus, supporting the Classic Race Aarhus event, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic until 2021. [8]
On 1 May 2020, a new, preliminary, calendar was released featuring a double header round at Jyllandsringen. [9]
