## Calendar

The 2018 Dunlop Super2 Series comprised seven rounds:

Round Event name Circuit Location Date 1 Adelaide 500 Adelaide Street Circuit Adelaide, South Australia 2–4 March 2 Tasmania SuperSprint Symmons Plains Raceway Launceston, Tasmania 7–8 April 3 Perth SuperSprint Barbagallo Raceway Neerabup, Western Australia 5–6 May 4 Townsville 400 Townsville Street Circuit Townsville, Queensland 7–8 July 5 Sandown 500 Sandown Raceway Springvale, Victoria 15–16 September 6 Bathurst 1000 Mount Panorama Circuit Bathurst, New South Wales 6 October 7 Newcastle 500 Newcastle Street Circuit Newcastle, New South Wales 24–25 November Source:[24]

### Calendar changes

- The [Bathurst 1000](/source/Bathurst_1000) support race returned to being a points-paying series round again after the [2017 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000](/source/2017_Supercheap_Auto_Bathurst_1000) failed to draw wildcard entries and the accompanying Super2 non-series round saw a downturn in participation from previous years.[25]

- The category returned to Barbagallo Raceway for a series round.[24] The round had been removed from the 2017 Super2 Series schedule to allow teams the opportunity to run wildcard entries in the [Supercars Championship event](/source/Perth_SuperSprint), but no entries were received.

- The series no longer hosted four-race format rounds.[26]

## Rule changes

### Sporting regulations

The "wildcard" programme introduced in [2017](/source/2017_Supercars_Championship) to allows teams from the [Dunlop Super2 Series](/source/Dunlop_Super2_Series) to compete in the Supercars Championship continued in 2018. Entries were open for the [Winton](/source/Winton_Motor_Raceway), [Hidden Valley](/source/Hidden_Valley_Raceway), [Ipswich](/source/Queensland_Raceway) and [Tailem Bend](/source/The_Bend_Motorsport_Park) rounds,[24] while the [Barbagallo](/source/Barbagallo_Raceway) round was discontinued.

### Technical regulations

The Super2 Series no longer allowed "Project Blueprint" cars after fifteen years of use in [Supercars](/source/Supercars_Championship) and [Super2](/source/Super2_Series) series.[27] They were replaced by the ["New Generation" cars](/source/Supercars_Championship#New_Generation_V8_Supercar) first introduced to Supercars racing in [2013](/source/2013_International_V8_Supercars_Championship), bringing the Super2 Series in line with the technical regulations of its parent series. The Project Blueprint cars were eligible to compete in the [V8 Touring Car National Series](/source/V8_Touring_Car_National_Series), the third tier of the sport.
