Thirteen teams had been pre-selected to the 2021 championship. Teams had a maximum of three cars, but were allowed to run a fourth car if they enter with a female driver. [2] G4 Racing took over Bhaitech's entry [3] and M2 Competition withdrew as only twelve teams are allowed to compete in the series. [4]
The initial calendar was revealed on 7 December 2020. [53] The series adopted the Formula Renault Eurocup weekend format with qualifying session 1 and race 1 on Saturday and qualifying session 2 and race 2 on Sunday. [54] After rescheduling the season opener at Spa to support the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the second Imola round was subsequently dropped and plans to reinclude Spa were announced. [55] A planned round at the Nürburgring was cancelled because of the flood disaster in the region, with a replacement at Circuit Ricardo Tormo added later. [56] [57]
