Motorsport Australia has confirmed the new changes for the Superlicence points structure for 2025 which includes four distinct tiers becoming apparent, some award alterations, whilst senior Karting has been dropped from the table.

Whilst the Super2 category remains on top of the tree with 15 points available for a championship, Super3 has been reduced from 12 to 10 points, with Trans Am receiving a 3 point hike to be considered in the top tier with 10 points.

The Porsche Carrera Cup now stands as the highest after Super2, alone on 12 points, with Super3, TCR, Porsche Sprint Challenge, and Trans Am – all on 10 points – filling the top tier, with all the 10 point categories only awarding points down to seventh position.

That also means that Super3, a category that has had small fields in 2024, also no longer award points down to 10th in the championship, where-as the Super2 remains as it was, giving a minimum of three points to 10th place.

A whole host of categories like the Formula 4 and the Toyota 86 series will be lifted to eight points, along with the existentially threatened S5000 series, the GT Championship and the NZ Toyota Racing Series.

The categories that only award a maximum of five points (down to 1 point for third) largely remain as such for 2025, but noticeably, top level Karting no longer awards any Superlicence points, as opposed to three availbale in 2024.

Motorsport Australia CEO Sunil Vohra said the changes would help provide competitors with certainty as the plan for their 2025 racing seasons.

“This year we have simplified the Superlicence structure, with four clear tiers of racing categories based on their status in Australian motorsport, as well as their competitiveness at the various events,” Vohra explained.

“When the Superlicence was reintroduced for 2024, we said it was our intention to constantly review and ensure the relevance of the categories and the points they receive. Working closely with Shane (Howard) and the team at Supercars, we are pleased to present the new points table for 2025.

“Motorsport Australia will continue to review the structure each year to ensure the right points are awarded to the categories and the drivers who compete.”
