2020 Ligier European Series

The 2020 Ligier European Series was the first season of the Ligier European Series.[1] The five-event season began at Circuit Paul Ricard on 18 July and finished at Algarve International Circuit on 31 October.[2]

Calendar

The original calendar was revealed on September 20, 2019, featuring a five round calendar with Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as its opening venue on 3–4 April.[3] However, with the Covid-19 pandemic, the calendar was modified according to that year's European Le Mans Series calendar, therefore removing the Barcelona Heat and replacing it with another Paul Ricard Heat.[2]
