The 2023 S5000 Australian Drivers' Championship was the third season of the S5000 Australian Drivers' Championship. The championship was held under the new unified SpeedSeries banner, promoted and organized jointly by Motorsport Australia and the Australian Racing Group.[1]
At the first race of this last round, GRM driver Aaron Cameron won the Drivers' Championship. After claiming three victories from three races through the weekend, he also became the Tasman Series Champion.
All teams competed with identical Rogers AF01/V8 single-seater racecars, Ligier/Onroak chassis powered by Ford Coyote V8 engines.[3] For the 2023 season, a Pro-Am class was to be introduced, but it received no entries.[4]
The calendar for the third S5000 season was announced on 7 December 2022. After two years of holding the main S5000 season and the S5000 Tasman series as separate championships over five and two rounds respectively, this changed in 2023. All six rounds now counted towards the main S5000 Australian Drivers' Championship, with the last round also counting towards the S5000 Tasman Series.
At each meeting, a qualifying session and three races were held. Meeting points were awarded to the fastest three qualifiers in qualifying, where the grid for Race 1 was set. For Race 2, the grid was set by the results of Race 1. The grid for the Main Event was defined by the points earned by the drivers across the weekend.[24]
^Merhi was entered into round 6, but withdrew after falling ill ahead of the event.
