Race calendar and meeting format

A provisional calendar had initially been announced in 2018, with Sydney Motorsport Park as the season opener and The Bend Motorsport Park as the concluding round. [21] However, after the organisers announced that the series would be delayed four months due to supply issues as well as further S5000 car testing, the first race of the series was pushed back to 22 September, 2019 at Sandown Raceway. [22] [23]

RoundCircuitDate
1 Sandown Raceway 21–22 September
