Race calendar and results
All rounds were held in Japan and supported the Super GT events.[1] On 18 March 2020, the original opening round at Okayama International Circuit was postponed to an undetermined date due to the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic.[5][6] On 30 March 2020 it was determined the second and third rounds also had to be postponed.[7][8] On 5 April 2020 the Super GT Series issued a revised calendar in which the F4 Japanese Championship also confirmed their schedule change,[9][10] with a newly revised calendar being issued on 17 July 2020.[11]
