With a total of US$15,000 on the line, E1  Championship continues on 7 January 2021 at 10pm (GMT+8). 

Drivers must continue performing their best over the last three races of the season, especially with double  race points up for grabs at the final round.

The final three races of the season will be happening at Silverstone UK on 7 January 2021, Road America on the 14 January 2021, and Bathurst Australia on 21 January 2021.
