The 2020 Supercars Championship (known for commercial reasons as the 2020 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship)[1] was a motor racing series for Supercars. It was the twenty-second running of the Supercars Championship and the twenty-fourth series in which Supercars have contested the Australian Touring Car Championship, the premier title in Australian motorsport. Due to disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of rounds were rescheduled or cancelled.
The series reverted to having only two manufacturers, Ford and Holden, for the first time since 2012 with Nissan no longer being represented on the grid.
Scott McLaughlin successfully defended his drivers' championship with one event remaining, winning the title for the third consecutive year.[2] DJR Team Penske successfully defended the teams' championship. Ford successfully defended the manufacturers' championship.[3]
