Calendar
A provisional calendar was announced on 20 November 2020, featuring six rounds at six Japanese motor racing circuits. Twin Ring Motegi moved back to the first round of the championship in March. Following the cancellation of the 2020 round at Suzuka Circuit, its date was moved to September and became the fifth round of the season.The Fuji 24 Hours was moved from its original dates of 5-6 June to 22-23 May, in order to avoid a clash with 24 Hours of Le Mans test day and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
