The series comprised seven rounds across four different states. Rounds 2, 3, 4 and 5 each consisted of three races. The second race of each weekend saw the finishing order of Race 1 reversed to form the grid, a 'reverse grid' race. Rounds 1, 6 and 7 each consisted of two races. Points were offered down to 32nd position in each race[1] but at no point during the season did more than 24 cars finish a race.
