The pandemic meant no more physical events, but the Online Season saw 30 rounds of racing for both the Manufacturer Series and Nations Cup. A series of three Online Regional Finals followed in November for the Americas, Asia-Oceania, and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa). Each Regional Final comprised 16 players - the top 12 racers from the Online Series plus four additional players who earned their places by way of an Extra Stage time trial. Competition was fierce, as ever, with places in the World Finals up for grabs as well as the title of Regional Champion.
The World Finals took place over three days in December with all the competitors participating from home but linked to a stunning virtual studio by video. This global celebration of digital motor sport saw 36 competitors from 14 different countries battle it out in teams of three for the Manufacturer Series and 16 competitors from 10 different countries racing for Nations Cup glory.
This unprecedented event was a major technological feat and saw Takuma Miyazono of Japan crowned 2020 FIA GT Championships Nations Cup Champion. Team Subaru won the Manufacturer Series with Takuma Miyazono, Mikail Hizal of Germany and American Daniel Solis taking the driving duties.
