Introduction

Despite all the struggles related to the COVID pandemic, the 2020 season has shown that the circuit racing scene in the Central Europe region keeps improving. A very good cooperation between national federations proved to be fruitful. In spite of all restrictions, the FIA Central European Zone, ESET Cup and TCR Eastern Europe series have managed to run four full race weekends, with cars of various categories – GTs, TCRs, Clio Cup cars, Twingo Cup cars and single-seaters. While the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions affected the whole organisation of the events, in the end, the Central European drivers met at the end of July in Grobnik, Croatia for the opening round of the season. And later even managed to run all the remaining races at Slovakiaring, Automotodrom Brno and Hungaroring. Luckily, all the struggles in Europe did not affect the quality of the racing and even offered some very attractive events with plenty of entrants. The series even brought some stars like Tomas Enge, Stefan Rosina, Dusan Borkovic, David Vrsecky, Petr Fulin and Adam Lacko. In total, there were 164 drivers from 16 countries. And the Czech Republic managed to win the Nations Cup. In the ESET Cup standings, after summing the Sprint and Endurance races points, it was Daniel Skalicky with Audi R8 who took his first championship title. He is the third Czech driver to ever do so, after Richard Chlad (2019) and Jakub Knoll (2017). The most successful driver of this Central European series so far is a Slovak driver Miro Konopka (he won in 2013, 2014 and 2015). Another Slovak driver Stefan Rosina won in 2015 and Marcin Jedlinski became the only Polish driver to win the series in 2018. The second TCR Eastern Europe series was won by an experienced Serbian driver Dusan Borkovic, with Jachym Galas taking the championship title for the best junior. Tomas Pekar then managed to win the Renault Clio Cup series, while Jaka Marinsek finished in first place in the Renault Twingo Cup series. Paolo Brajnik took the championship title in singleseaters. An award for the best junior driver overall went to a Polish driver Szymon Jablonski.
