The 2012 International V8 Supercar Championship is an FIA sanctioned international motor racing series for V8 Supercars. It is the fourteenth running of the V8 Supercar Championship Series and the sixteenth series in which V8 Supercars have contested the premier Australian touring car title. The championship began on 1 March at the Clipsal 500, with the Adelaide event returning to its place as the opening round, and will finish on 2 December at the Homebush Street Circuit. The 53rd Australian Touring Car Championship title will be awarded to the winner of the series by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport.

Notes
  • ^1 — For points-scoring purposes, Kelly Racing is recognised as two separate entities: "Jack Daniel's Racing", including car #7 and car #15; and "Kelly Racing", which includes cars #11 and #51.
  • ^2 — Greg Murphy was ruled out of the Symmons Plains round due to a back injury sustained in a collision during the 2012 Clipsal 500. Dunlop Series driver David Russell replaced him for the event. Two weeks before the round at Hidden Valley Raceway, Murphy suffered a relapse of his back injury and Kelly Racing announced that he would be forced to sit out until at least the Sandown 500 endurance race.[61] David Russell was retained as Murphy's replacement for Hidden Valley,[62] with 1997 Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve joining the team for Townsville,[40] Queensland Raceway and Sydney Motorsport Park events.[63]
  • ^3 — Wildcard entries only participate in endurance events, and thus do not attend the regular season or Gold Coast 600.

Points system

Points are awarded to the driver or drivers of a car that completes 75% of the race distance and is running at the completion of the final lap. The different points scales adapt to each round having one, two or three races, making sure that a driver gets 300 points if they win all races of the round.

Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th

Notes
  • 1 Race Format: two drivers share one car for the race. All points-paying positions are worth twice their standard values.
  • 2 Race Format: denotes all races except the Trading Post Perth Challenge, Sandown 500, Bathurst 1000, and Gold Coast 600. These events have unique points systems.
  • 3 Race Format: the Trading Post Perth Challenge at Barbagallo Raceway consists of three races rather than two. The total number of points on offer for each position remains the same as in other standard rounds, but is divided evenly across the three races.
  • Gold Coast: each of the 28 regular drivers is required to have an international co-driver,[68] who is eligible to score points in the race. An "international co-driver" is defined as a driver who is known for competing in racing series outside Australia, as opposed to a driver who competes with a racing licence issued by a country outside Australia and New Zealand. A team's designated international driver may only compete with that team for the Gold Coast event; they may contest the Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000, but must change teams ahead of the Gold Coast 600.
