Team changes
- Epic Racing Team and Measuric Racing all withdrew from GPVWC after the end of the 2019 season. Hawkeye Racing also withdrew from GPVWC shortly before the 2020 season commenced.
- Storm Racing Team took the unusual step of returning all the way back to Formula Challenge for the 2020 season.
- Having competed in the 2018 and 2019 seasons under the ACR constructor name as part of a merger with Avid Chronic Racing which ended during the 2019 season, Vod:Bul Racing initially reverted to their original constructor name for 2020, before rebranding as Abruzzi Esports piror to the start of the season.
- Scuderia Basilea entered a partnership with Burst Esport and entered the 2020 season as Burst Esport powered by Scuderia Basilea.
New entries
- Chaos Engineering, Cosmo Seiki Japan, Holland Racing Team and reigning champions Red Arrow Racing were all promoted from Superleague Lights.
- Despite appearing on the grid since 2018 as part of the now-reversed merger with Vod:Bul Racing, Avid Chronic Racing initially reappeared as an entirely new, separate entity in 2020, before withdrawing their entry prior to the start of the season.
- Shortly before the beginning of the season, both Chaos Engineering and Cosmo Seiki Japan withdrew from the competition, but both of their entries came under new management and were able to compete in the season. Cosmo's entry came under the management of YTF1, who had initally withdrawn from Superleague at the end of 2019: the team was rebranded as Cosmo Team YTF1 and the team's base moved to YTF1's HQ in England. Chaos Engineering's entry was taken over by Ghostspeed Racing Team, marking the New Zealand-based team's GPVWC debut.
Driver changes
- Maciej Mlynek moved from Scuderia Basilea to Edge Esports, replacing Petar Brljak, who had chosen to focus elsewhere in 2020.
- Rait Kilk moved from the now-defunct Epic Racing Team to Red Archer Virtual Racing Team for 2020, replacing Fabio Sixta, who moved to Streetfighter Racing Systems and replaced Robin Pansar.
- Pansar and Jernej Simoncic moved from Streetfighter Racing Systems and Green Stripes Racing respectively to Burst Esport powered by Scuderia Basilea. Simoncic was replaced at Green Stripes by debutant Mirko Lucchini
- Double World Champion David Fidock moved from Hawkeye Racing to debutants Red Arrow Racing.
- Tobias Olsson, having done a part-season for YTF1 in 2019, moved back to MadCape Racing Team, for whom he had previously driven in 2018.
- Abruzzi Esports opted for a completely changed lineup in 2020: Christian Pasqual, who drove some races for Edge Esports in 2019, and rookie Fabrizio Gobbi replaced Stephane Rouault and 2018 champion Alex Siebel. Rouault moved to debutants Holland Racing Team whilst Siebel took up a test/reserve driver role with defending champions Evolution Motorsports.
- Matthew Williams, having driven some races in 2019 for Storm Racing, moved to Flag-to-Flag SimRacing. Team manager Cameron Rodger would be promoted to a full-time seat at the team to partner Williams. The pair replaced Sergi Heras and what was a rotating cast of drivers in the other seat.
- Chris Butcher and Laurent Keersmaekers, having driven some races in 2019 as substitutes for Streetfighter Racing Systems and Scuderia Basilea respectively, became full-time drivers for debutants Red Arrow Racing and Holland Racing Team respectively.
- Adam Maguire makes his full-time debut for Edonis Engineering, replacing Germano Zappala, who moved to Cosmo Team YTF1.
- Alari Algpeus makes his full-time debut for Cosmo Team YTF1.
- Luca D'Amelio and Tom Satherley make their full-time debuts in 2020, both driving for debutants Ghostspeed Racing Team.
Technical changes
- The number of tyre compounds available during the season was reduced from 5 to 3. As a consequence, teams no longer had to choose which three of the tyre compounds they could use at each Grand Prix.
2020 Calendar
The 2020 calendar follows the 16-round limit introduced in 2019.
Testing
The 2019 testing schedule was as follows:
Test | Date | Venue |
---|---|---|
Preseason Test #1 | 13/02 | Watkins Glen |
Preseason Test #2 | 20/02 | Yas Marina Circuit |
Preseason Test #3 | 27/02 | Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours |
Preseason Test #4 | 05/03 | Fuji Speedway |
Young Driver Test | 29/10 | Circuit of the Americas, Austin |
Calendar changes
- The Malaysian, Spanish and, controversially, Monaco Grands Prix were removed from the calendar. The Malaysian round had only been reintroduced in 2019, while the Spanish Grand Prix had been held, at different venues, since 2002. The Monaco Grand Prix, however, had been held every year since the formation of GPVWC, with the only exception of during the curtailed 2001 season.
- The Dutch, French and Russian Grands Prix were reintroduced. The French race was last held in 2018 while Russia had been absent since the end of 2017. The Dutch Grand Prix, together with Zandvoort, was last held in 2012, despite an aborted attempt to hold the Grand Prix at Assen in 2016.
