Teams and drivers [ ]
All teams utilized the chassis.
Race calendar [ ]
A provisional seven-round calendar was announced on 26 September 2020, with the option to add another round at Hockenheimring .[27] [28] A plan to resurrect the Pau Grand Prix after it was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic did not come to fruition.[29] The calendar was then further concretized on 3 December 2020, adding an event in Imola and leaving a ninth event to be announced.[30] On 9 March 2021, the Portimão round shifted one week later, and it would be the official support round of the 2021 Portuguese Grand Prix .[31] On 27 April 2021, it was confirmed that the series would be held over eight rounds.[26]
In early 2021, it was announced that for the 2021 season the series would switch to a three-race format per round, with only one qualifying session and the other two race grids determined by a top-six reversed grid and the fastest laps from the first two races respectively.[32]
Championship standings [ ]
In 2021, a rule was introduced that granted two extra points per race to the driver that gained the most positions.[32]
