The 2024 Calendar comprised 21 races across 7 rounds.[1] Bathurst made a return to the national calendar as well as a consecutive year racing with supercars at Symmons Plains. The calendar also featured a double header following Symmons Plains at Sandown.
Championship points were awarded on a 20–16–14–12–11–10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis to the top fifteen classified finishers in each race. An additional point was awarded to the driver gaining pole position for the first race at each round. Non-national competitors are not considered in the point score. E.g. A national competitor will move up three spots if three state competitors finish in front of them in a race.[1]
Drivers head out for a single qualifying session that determines the grid for race 1. Following race 1 the finishing order after penalties are applied is the starting order for race 2. The same applies to race 3 of the results of race 2.[1]
