Race calendar

The second S5000 season was originally supposed to start in late 2021, but after multiple postponements and cancellations, the organizers instead decided to hold a revived Tasman Series over the end of 2021, and start the second S5000 season in January 2022.[2] In November 2021, it was announced that the S5000 series would take part in the 2022 Darwin Triple Crown.[3] On December 15th, the full calendar was released for the Australian and Tasman Championships.[4]
