2020 Formula Regional Americas Championship
The 2020 Formula Regional Americas Championship powered by Honda will be the third season for the FIA Formula 3 regional series across North America. The series is sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing, the professional racing division of the Sports Car Club of America. The 2020 season will be the first season under the moniker of Formula Regional Americas, after a rebranding to align with the FIA single-seater development pathway.[1]

Race calendar
The series schedule was announced on 19 December 2019. [4] However, after multiple postponements and cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a revised calendar was announced on 29 May 2020. This new calendar includes new rounds at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Miami Speedway. The rounds in support of the United States Grand Prix and at Circuit Trois-Rivières in Quebec, Canada - the planned first international event for the series - were not included in the reworked calendar.[5][6]
