The championship incorporates two international events, Round 5 is a World Rally Championship event, Rally Australia, while Round 4, the International Rally of Queensland is a round of the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship.

Each domestic rally is contested over two heats, with three or four components to the two international events.[1]

With the championship now awarded specifically to two-wheel-drive cars exclusively has seen an influx of European and Asian Super 2000 and Super 1600 cars as well as a revival of older rear-wheel-drive performance cars. While most of the top drivers have moved out of the Mitsubishi Lancer and Subaru Impreza 4WD turbos, they remain competitive with reigning Western Australian rally champion Alex Stone winning a heat at the Forest Rally.
