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.[12] In November 2021, it was announced that the S5000 series would take part in the 2022 Darwin Triple Crown.[13] On December 15, the full calendar was released for the Australian and Tasman Championships.[14] On 17 January 2022, Sydney was confirmed to hold the fourth round of the championship.[15]
