The 2020 Collection
Series 1 and Series 2 Starter Packs and World Packs were released in 2020 starting in July with the initial sets found first at Walmarts in the USA. Today, the sets are sold worldwide, but distribution during the pandemic has limited collectors finding them in some regions. Playsets, a multipack, Series 1 blind bags and a Christmas candy cane packaging special released only in the USA were also a part of the 2020 re-release of Micro Machines by Jazwares/Hasbro.

2020 Starter Packs - Series 1
Four different collections were available for this release including a chase vehicle (GT-7) in silver (rare) or gold (ultra rare) found in RACE TEAM #03. The gold chase vehicle (GT-7) has two known versions consisting of silver or gold wheels. The die-cut hanger hole for UK sets is the more classic style (last image in this group which is also an error set with a missing part for the Harvester) while the USA sets have the "J"-shaped hanger section. A European case is shown below with the routine packing of 1 silver chase set per case. It is believed the packing rate for gold chase vehicles is 1:10 cases and aftermarket listings seems to confirm this.

Three of the vehicles are unique while the other 12 repeated vehicles are found in the Amazon exclusive Super Van City found here.

The French/euro release for the 15-pack included duplicate language text as well as a separate unique release with vehicles found in the Series 1 blind bags. This unique regional release is one of the most valuable/popular sets to collectors due to its regional exclusivity and perceived rarity with only a handful known.
