Drivers' champion Simon Sikes
Manufacturers' Cup Mygale

The 2020 F1600 Championship Series season was the ninth season of the F1600 Championship Series. The previous year's champion was Jonathan Kotyk of K-Hill Motorsports.

Simon Sikes’ performances in the F1600 Championship Series helped him earn a spot as a Team USA scholar and allowed him to make his debut in the USF2000 before the year ended. During his short time in the Road to Indy, he achieved his best finish in fourth place.

In the end, he easily won the F1600 title, beating karting graduate Dylan Christie and Dexter Czuba. He also took home the SCCA National Runoff title in Formula F.

Jackson Lee won two races in the F1600 series but missed a third of the season. He finished fourth in the points standings. His status as a Team USA scholar allowed him to travel to England to compete in the National FF1600 finale and other important races at the end of the year. His best finish was 10th place in the final race of the FFord Festival.

Maxwell Esterson joined him on the flight across the ocean. Esterson won one F1600 race and finished 14th in the WHT.[1][2]
