Race calendar
The season had intended to run at Knockhill, Mondello Park and the EuroSpeedway as well as the Rockingham Motor Speedway but fuel pickup issues during the inaugural race in May caused that race to be discounted from the championship and the season was postponed and cut back to just five races at three meetings all at Rockingham.
