Calendar changes

The Bend Motorsport Park will return to the calendar, after missing out on the 2024 championship, as an endurance event.[54]

Queensland Raceway will return to the championship for the first time since 2019.[53]

Sydney SuperNight will move from July to February, replacing the Bathurst 500.[53]

Rule changes

Format changes

For 2025, the series will be split into three categories, with each awarding its' own title.[55]

  • Sprint Cup - The first eight events, from Sydney Motorsport Park to Queensland Raceway, will contest a "Sprint Cup". Two events – Sydney and Townsville – will feature a 100 km Sprint race on Friday and 2x200km Feature races with refuelling on Saturday and Sunday, one event – the Australian Grand Prix support at Albert Park – will feature four races of roughly 100 km, and the remaining five will feature 2x120km Sprint races on Saturday and a 200 km Feature race with refuelling on Sunday.
  • Enduro Cup - The Bend 500 and the Bathurst 1000 will count for the Enduro Cup, a format which will return for the first time since 2019.
  • Finals Series - The final three events will contest a "Finals" series, similar to the NASCAR playoffs and Turismo Carretera Gold Cup.[56]

The "Sprint Cup" and "Enduro Cup" will follow a traditional first-past-the-post championship system, whereas the "Finals" will employ a combination of first-past-the-post and knockout elimination formats.[57]

  • 10 drivers will take part in the first Finals round at the Gold Coast, held over two races of 250 km. These ten drivers will consist of the winner/s of the Sprint and Enduro Cups, and the remaining places filled by the highest-placed drivers in the overall championship to that point – for example, 2nd through 10th in the standings fill the Finals berths if the leader after Bathurst won both Cups. Drivers' points will then be reset to 3000, and will be awarded bonus points based on existing championship position on a sliding scale of 150-120-96-78-66-57-48-39-30-21. The Sprint and Enduro Cup winner/s will also receive a bonus 25 points per title.
  • 7 drivers will take part in the second Finals round at Sandown, held over two races of 250 km. If a driver eligible for Finals points wins a race on the Gold Coast, they automatically advance through to Sandown; the remaining places of the 7 will be filled with the Finals-eligible drivers who score the most points over the Gold Coast weekend. Points are reset to 4000, and the same bonus points scale applies.
  • 4 drivers will take part in the last Finals round at Adelaide, held over three races – one Sprint race of 100 km on Friday, followed by the traditional two Feature races of 250 km on Saturday and Sunday. The same qualification rules as the Gold Coast to Sandown leg apply, with drivers' points reset to 5000; however, bonus points are now awarded on a sliding scale of 50-30-15-0. The driver with the most points after the three races in Adelaide will be crowned series' champion.
  • Drivers who do not qualify for the Finals in any form will continue to compete for points in the overall standings, as will drivers who are knocked out in the first two rounds of the Finals.

Technical changes

  • A new series of tyre compounds will be introduced.[58]
  • During the Sprint Cup portion of the season, fuel towers will be replaced with fuel churns.[59]
