A new schedule for the 2020 FIA World Rallycross Championship has been announced by series organisers IMG.

Notably, the World RX of Norway in Hell does not appear on the new calendar nor does the World RX of South Africa.

The season will begin with Holjes on 20-23 August and finish in December with the new round at the Nurburgring.

Significantly, Abu Dhabi will host a double-header on 29-31 October.

France and Latvia retain their places in the calendar whilst Belgium’s new date of the 2-4 October was announced last month.

Portugal and Spain are back to back following Belgium, marking the first time in the series’ history that a triple-header will take place.
