Calendar

The title was contested over a six-round series with Rounds 1, 2 & 3 each run over two heats and Rounds 4, 5 & 6 each staged as a single race.

Championship points were awarded on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis to the top six placegetters at each round. Only holders of a CAMS General Competition Licence were eligible, therefore any placings gained by international licence holders were ignored by CAMS when allocating championship points.[1]
