Calendar changes

The Auckland event moved from April to November, while the Winton and Perth events swapped positions on the calendar. ^[69]

Format changes

Each Super Sprint event featured two hours of Friday practice which incorporated testing time for the teams. The Townsville event reverted to its original 400-kilometre format, with a 200-kilometre race held on both Saturday and Sunday. ^[69] The Saturday races of Super Sprint events were contested over a shorter distance of 60 kilometres per race, compared to the 100-kilometre races held in 2014. No twilight races were held. ^[73] After holding a fourth race on the Friday in 2013 and 2014, the Auckland event was reduced to three races, the same as all other Super Sprint events. ^[74]

Other changes

The season saw the commencement of a new television deal, with Foxtel and Network Ten taking over the broadcasting rights from Seven Network. All races are being shown live on Foxtel's Fox Sports with six events – Adelaide, Townsville, Sandown, Bathurst, the Gold Coast and Sydney – also being televised live on Ten. ^[75] Ten also broadcasts limited highlights of the other events. The television series Inside Supercars and Supercars Life were also launched by Fox Sports to accompany their coverage. Ten revived their motorsport magazine series RPM to accompany their own coverage.

The number of test days allocated to each team was reduced from four to three. A compulsory two-day test was held at Sydney Motorsport Park on 7–8 February 2015, with teams allocated one further day of private testing that could be used at their discretion. The amount of track time on Fridays at eight rounds has been increased to account for the reduced number of test days. ^[69]

From Darwin, in response to processional racing in the 60 km SuperSprint races, the V8 Supercar Commission changed tyre allocations to give teams a set of soft compound rubber for the second race. ^[76]

Jamie Whincup began his title defence in a strong manner, taking pole position for both of the Saturday races. ^[77] He went on to win the first race of the weekend ahead of Chaz Mostert and Fabian Coulthard. Scott McLaughlin, after qualifying third, failed to start the race after his car's oil pump failed on the warm-up lap. ^[78] Whincup dropped down the order in the second race due to a puncture, while Coulthard took victory with James Courtney and Craig Lowndes rounding out the podium. McLaughlin jumped the start and served the resulting ten-second penalty under safety car conditions, which led to another ten seconds being added to his race time, while Mostert hit the wall at turn eight and retired from the race. Michael Caruso also hit the wall at turn eight after contact with David Reynolds led to a puncture. Will Davison, after retiring from the first race, failed to start the second after a clutch failure on the warm-up lap. ^[79] Courtney won the final race of the weekend on Sunday ahead of Shane van Gisbergen and Garth Tander. Whincup and Mostert made contact on the last lap while battling for fourth, which led to Mostert hitting the wall and being collected by James Moffat. Both Mostert and Moffat failed to complete the lap. Marcos Ambrose, after struggling on Saturday, qualified inside the top ten on Sunday and finished twelfth. Courtney left the event with the championship lead ahead of Coulthard and Tander. ^[80]

This handed the lead to Whincup, who went on to win the race ahead of Chaz Mostert and Shane van Gisbergen.

With Lowndes finishing fifth, Winterbottom took the championship lead. ^[89] Mostert took his second pole in qualifying for the Sunday race. The session saw Lee Holdsworth make a mistake at turn six and his car rolled onto its side after digging into the sand trap. ^[90] Despite starting off the front row, Mostert and Winterbottom finished fourth and 15th respectively after their tyre strategy was ruined by a safety car on lap 48. Will Davison won the race, taking Erebus Motorsport's second ever victory, after passing Lowndes for the lead with five laps remaining. Coulthard finished third despite starting 24th.

Reynolds himself ran off the circuit in trying to avoid the lapped Michael Caruso, cutting off a portion of the track in the process. After retaking his place behind Caruso, Reynolds held off Mostert to take victory.

The only retirement during the race was the car of Nick Percat and Oliver Gavin with steering failure. Winterbottom extended his championship lead over Mostert to 198 points, while David Reynolds, who finished fifth with Dean Canto, moved up to third place in the standings after Craig Lowndes and Steven Richards only managed to finish thirteenth. ^[115] Winterbottom was fined $3000 for performing a celebratory burnout on the main straight after he finished the race. ^[117]

Pole position	David Reynolds (Rod Nash Racing)
Race winner	Craig Lowndes and Steven Richards (Triple Eight Race Engineering)

Chaz Mostert was ruled out for the remainder of the season after sustaining leg and wrist injuries in a major accident during qualifying for the Bathurst 1000. The crash also injured three marshals. ^[118] The race was won by Craig Lowndes and Steven Richards, who took their sixth and fourth victories respectively, while Mostert's teammates, Mark Winterbottom and Steve Owen finished second. Garth Tander and Warren Luff completed the podium. ^[119] David Reynolds had qualified on pole position, setting the fastest time in a rain-affected Top Ten Shootout, ^[120] but he and Dean Canto could only finish sixth. Jamie Whincup and Paul Dumbrell led for most of the race, but Whincup ignored a call to pit during the last safety car period. He then went on to pass the safety car, resulting in a drive-through penalty which dropped the car to eighteenth place. ^[119] The safety car had been brought on to the track after Scott Pye crashed heavily at the top of the circuit, suffering a fractured rib. ^[121] With Mostert not taking part in the race, Winterbottom extended his championship lead to 399 points over Lowndes, who moved up to second in the points standings, with Reynolds in third and Mostert falling to fourth place. ^[119]

Race winner	Shane van Gisbergen and Jonathon Webb (Tekno Autosports)	James Courtney and Jack Perkins (Holden Racing Team)

James Courtney returned from injury at the Castrol Gold Coast 600, driving in a race for the first time since the Coates Hire Ipswich Super Sprint. Having replaced Courtney at the previous two events, Russell Ingall moved to Prodrive Racing Australia to replace the injured Chaz Mostert and partner Cameron Waters. Mark Winterbottom had a difficult weekend, allowing Craig Lowndes and David Reynolds to reduce his championship lead. Winterbottom was released into the path of Garth Tander following a pit stop in the Saturday race. This damaged the suspension on Winterbottom's car and the time lost while repairs were made dropped him to 23rd place. ^[122] His team, Prodrive Racing Australia, also received a 50-point penalty in the Teams' Championship. ^[123] The race was won by Shane van Gisbergen and Jonathon Webb, who started from pole position and led for most of the race. Reynolds and Dean Canto finished second ahead of Lowndes and Steven Richards. ^[122] Courtney and Jack Perkins, using an alternative fuel strategy which saw the car pit twice during a mid-race safety car, won the Sunday race ahead of Rick Kelly and David Russell, who used a similar strategy. Garth Tander and Warren Luff, who pitted only once during the safety car period and then pitted for fuel later in the race, finished third. The result saw Tander and Luff win the Pirtek Enduro Cup. With Lowndes finishing fourth and Winterbottom in eleventh, the latter's championship lead was reduced to 258 points. ^[124]

Jamie Whincup dominated the ITM 500 Auckland, winning two of the three races and finishing second in the other. Whincup won from pole position in the first race with Shane van Gisbergen and David Reynolds completing the podium. Scott Pye originally finished in fourth place but was relegated to fifth after cutting a chicane in the closing laps to keep ahead of Craig Lowndes. ^[125] Lowndes led for the first half of the second race before his left-rear tyre failed at the end of the main straight, causing Lowndes to spin and collide heavily with a wall. The car had to be taken to a local panel shop in order for the necessary repairs to be carried out, with the car not fully fixed until the following morning. ^[126] Lowndes' demise allowed Reynolds to take victory ahead of Whincup and Scott McLaughlin. ^[127] Whincup won the third race ahead of Lowndes while Scott Pye achieved his first career podium. Championship leader Mark Winterbottom endured a difficult race, being spun early on before recovering to finish in eleventh place. Reynolds moved into second place in the championship after a strong weekend, 239 points behind Winterbottom and one point ahead of Lowndes. ^[128]

Race winner	Craig Lowndes (Triple Eight Race Engineering)	Jamie Whincup (Triple Eight Race Engineering)	Craig Lowndes (Triple Eight Race Engineering)

A number of driver changes took place in the lead-up to the Phillip Island Super Sprint: Chris Pither replaced Andre Heimgartner at Super Black Racing; Dean Canto replaced Ashley Walsh at Erebus Motorsport; and Paul Dumbrell replaced Nick Percat at Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport. Craig Lowndes further reduced Mark Winterbottom's championship lead by winning two races during the weekend. After qualifying third for the first race, Lowndes made a good start to overtake Jamie Whincup and Scott McLaughlin before the first corner, with the three drivers finishing the race in that order. ^[129] A major talking point of the race was an incident between David Reynolds and Shane van Gisbergen, where van Gisbergen nudged Reynolds into a high-speed spin on the back section of the circuit. ^[130] Van Gisbergen denied any wrongdoing, claiming that Reynolds cut across him, but was penalised 25 championship points. ^[131] Whincup won the second race ahead of McLaughlin and Lowndes. ^[132] Winterbottom qualified on pole for the Sunday race, but it was Lowndes who won the race with McLaughlin and Whincup again finishing on the podium. ^[133] Winterbottom finished fourth after being pushed wide by Whincup on the final lap, though he described the pass as "a fair move". ^[134] The result saw Winterbottom's championship lead come down to 179 points over Lowndes, with Reynolds dropping out of championship contention. ^[133]

Jamie Whincup continued his strong late-season form by winning the first two races of the Coates Hire Sydney 500. Mark Winterbottom qualified on pole position for the first, with his championship rival Craig Lowndes qualifying last after hitting the wall. ^[135] Whincup took the lead from Shane van Gisbergen during their pit stops and led to the finish, with van Gisbergen finishing second ahead of Jason Bright. Winterbottom drove a conservative race to finish fifth, while Lowndes made it to fifteenth place. ^[136] Winterbottom secured the championship by finishing third in the second race behind Whincup and David Reynolds. ^[137] Van Gisbergen took victory in the third race despite making contact with James Courtney in the opening laps. Courtney spun into the wall and his car suffered damage, but van Gisbergen was not penalised. Whincup finished second ahead of Rick Kelly and Winterbottom. The result saw Winterbottom win the championship by 238 points over Lowndes, with Reynolds in third a further 98 points behind. Van Gisbergen and Whincup, after enjoying a strong weekend, moved up to fourth and fifth in the championship. ^[138]
