Race calendar and results
[edit]The calendar expanded for the 2016 season, with theConfederation 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 started earlier in the year than in 2015, with the first round atSymmons Plains Raceway in April, while the final round will be held at theHighlands Motorsport Park in New Zealand. TheTownsville Street Circuit andHomebush Street Circuit have been removed from the schedule. On February 9, it was announced thatHighlands Motorsport Park would be removed from the schedule for cost reasons.[14]
