Calendar
The championship was contested over a five-round series which was staged concurrently with the 1985 Australian Manufacturers' Championship.
Class Structure
Cars were grouped into three classes based on engine capacity:
Points system
Championship points were allocated on a three scale system, to Australian license holders only, for outright places gained in each round:
In rounds where two drivers were compulsory (i.e. the Sandown and Bathurst rounds), full championship points were allocated to each of the two drivers provided that both had driven at least one third of the relevant distance. In all other rounds, where two drivers were not compulsory, points were allocated to each of the two drivers provided each had driven at least one third of the distance. If each had not driven such a distance, full points were allocated to the driver who had driven the greater distance. In all cases, points were only awarded to a driver who had driven one single car throughout the duration of the event.
