Race calendar

The first calendar for 2021 was announced on 30 October 2020. For the first time, the series was planned to be on the Formula One support bill, at the 2021 Japanese Grand Prix.[6] After the changes in the calendar, it was to support FIA World Endurance Championship at 2021 6 Hours of Fuji instead, before that race was cancelled.[7] The round at Sugo was moved to 9 October later on.
