# 2020 Australian GT Championship

The 2020 Australian GT Championship was scheduled to be the 24th running of the Australian GT Championship, a Motorsport Australia-sanctioned Australian motor racing championship open to FIA GT3 cars, FIA GT4 cars and similar cars as approved for the championship. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in only the first round of the Australian Endurance Championship, and the first & second rounds of the Australian GT Trophy Series taking place before the rest of the season was abandoned.

## Race calendar

The 2020 calendar was unveiled on 31 October 2019. A revised calendar was announced on 26 June 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in all further rounds being cancelled.
