The 2020 European Rally Championship was the 68th season of the FIA European Rally Championship, the European continental championship series in rallying. The season was also the eighth following the merge between the European Rally Championship and the Intercontinental Rally Challenge. Chris Ingram was the reigning champion, but did not return to defend the title. Alexey Lukyanuk won the championship in Citroën C3 R5.[1]

ERC Classes

The classes are:[2]

  • FIA ERC: Main class, for FIA-homologated cars with R5 regulations.
  • FIA ERC2: Second tier, for cars more standard, albeit with turbocharged engines and four-wheel drive. This class allows the N4, the R4-K and RGT rules.
  • FIA ERC3: Third ERC tier, for front-wheel-drive cars. Allows R3 and R2 cars.
  • FIA ERC1 Junior: For drivers aged 28 and under on 1 January 2020 in R5 cars.
