The championship consisted of a main championship as well as a Star Mazda Expert Series for drivers over 30 years old. The expert class consists of a driver's best 10 races, enabling an Expert Series competitor to complete a full complement of races in just five race weekends.<ref name="schedule" />
21-year-old Englishman [[Jack Hawksworth]] driving for Team Pelfrey dominated the championship, winning eight of the 17 races and four of the eight poles awarded, setting a series record for wins in a season. He sat out the final race of the year but still won the championship over Colombian-American [[Gabby Chaves]] by 37 points. Chaves won the final two races of the season. American [[Sage Karam]] won three races and finished third in points in a tie-breaker over fellow American [[Connor De Phillippi]] who won two races after finishing second in points a year ago. Finn [[Petri Suvanto]] finished fifth in points, in his first season in Star Mazda, winning the seat by winning the Road to Indy's [[U.S. F2000 National Championship]] the year before. Other race winners were Chile's Martin Scuncio and Venezuela's Camilo Schmidt, who won a bizarre wet-dry race in Edmonton.
American Walt Bowlin won the Expert series championship by virtue of being the only Expert series competitor to participate in more than two race weekends.
