Race calendar and results The calendar expanded for the 2016 season, with the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport choosing to focus on permanent racing venues, rather than temporary street circuits, to better aid the development of young drivers. The season started earlier in the year than in 2015, with the first round at Symmons Plains Raceway in April, while the final round will be held at the Highlands Motorsport Park in New Zealand. The Townsville Street Circuit and Homebush Street Circuit have been removed from the schedule. On February 9, it was announced that Highlands Motorsport Park would be removed from the schedule for cost reasons.
All rounds will support the International V8 Supercars Championship, with the exception of the third round that will be featured within the Shannons Nationals.
