Motorsports at the 2020 Summer Olympics (Johnsonverse)

Motorsports at the 2020 Summer Olympics was an event held in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Kanto. It was the debut appearance of motorsports at the Summer Olympics, after years of debate over whether or not motorsports counted as an actual sport due to the relative lack of physical activity. Motorsports was one of five new sports added to the Olympic program for 2020; it is also provisionally approved for the 2024 Summer Olympic games. The proposal to add motorsports to the Olympics was approved in August of 2016.
Motorsports is unusual in that it is the only co-ed event in the Summer Olympics, with no distinction between Men's or Women's events.
== Categories ==
There were several different categories for motorsports, each representing the major disciplines recognized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Each category was run using a rules package based on major motorsports leagues. Many categories also lacked regulations in certain areas, be they chassis or engines, with the intent for automakers from the drivers' country of origin to provide the engines; countries that lacked domestic automakers could purchase chassis and engines from other automakers.

International Open Wheel	Formula One 	Suzuka Circuit (road course)

The broadcast team consisted of Allen Bestwick as lead announcer, with Steve Matchett and David Hobbs as color commentators. The sole exception is the Stock Cars, where Tim Johnson, Chloe Johnson, and Belle Armstrong called the race, due to being at Tokyo Superspeedway, and there being a tradition of the three calling all major races there.
