2020 Super Taikyu Series
car endurance racing season
The 2020 Pirelli Super Taikyu Series was the twenty-ninth season of the Super Taikyu Series endurance racing championship. It began with the Fuji Super TEC 24 Hours at Fuji Speedway, which was postponed to 5-6 September due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It ended on 13 December at Autopolis, after five out of six scheduled rounds.
Mercedes-AMG Team Hirix Racing won the championship in the series' GT3 category, known as ST-X, with a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo. It was the team's first and only season in Super Taikyu.
This was the third and final year of Pirelli's contract as the series' official tyre supplier, to be replaced by Hankook beginning in 2021.
Calendar
The Super Taikyu Series announced its initial six-race calendar on 27 November 2019. There were no significant changes from the 2019 schedule, which again featured one round at each of Japan's six major racing circuits.
Mobilityland Corporation, the owner of Suzuka Circuit, announced on 2 March that the opening round, originally scheduled for 21-22 March, had been postponed due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. A new calendar was published on 10 June, confirming that the start of the season would be delayed to September.

Why this record matters
The phrase “car endurance racing season” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q109535885. The first chronological checks are 2020, 2021 and 2019.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
