Teams and drivers will compete in twenty-one races at seven venues, starting on 1 April and ending on 12 November.[1]

Calendar
The calendar will expand 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.[1] The season will start earlier in the year then in 2015, with a round to be held at Symmons Plains Raceway for the first time, 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.[1]
