The 2022 S5000 Tasman Series, known by its sponsored identity the Shannons S5000 Tasman Series, is the 14th season of the revived Tasman Series, and the second Tasman Series using S5000 machinery and therefore the S5000 moniker.[1] It will be held in October, November, and December of 2022.
Teams and drivers
All teams compete with identical Rogers AF01/V8 single-seater racecars, Ligier/Onroak chassis powered by Ford Coyote V8 engines.[2] For the 2022 season, a Pro-Am class was introduced.[3]

Calendar
The 2022 calendar was announced on 15 December 2021.[16] After the 2022 Supercars Championship, which the Tasman Series supports, changed its calendar, the Sydney round was moved forward, resulting in it being dropped from the Tasman Series calendar. In June, it was clarified that the Tasman Series would have two rounds, while the addition of a third event would be investigated.[17] In August, it was announced that Adelaide would join the calendar as final round.[18] The second round of the championship, planned to be held at Mount Panorama Circuit, was later replaced by a series of non-championship demonstration runs.[19]
Round | Circuit | Location | Date |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Surfers Paradise Street Circuit | Surfers Paradise, Queensland | 29–30 October |
2 | Adelaide Street Circuit | Adelaide, South Australia | 1–4 December |
