The 2023 S5000 Australian Drivers' Championship is the third season of the S5000 Australian Drivers' Championship. The championship is held under the new unified SpeedSeries banner, promoted and organized jointly by Motorsport Australia and the Australian Racing Group.
Drivers not only compete to win the Australian Drivers' Championship (the MA Gold Star), the last round of the season will also double as the third edition of the S5000 Tasman Series.
Teams and drivers
All teams compete with identical Rogers AF01/V8 single-seater racecars, Ligier/Onroak chassis powered by Ford Coyote V8 engines. For the 2023 season, a Pro-Am class will be introduced.
Race calendar
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 will change in 2023. All six rounds now count towards the main S5000 Australian Drivers' Championship, with the last round also counting towards the S5000 Tasman Series.
The category is scheduled to debut at Winton Raceway, while rounds at Albert Park and the Hidden Valley Raceway are not part of the provisional calendar. The second round was later confirmed to be held at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, while an originally planned round between the races at Tailem Bend and Adelaide did not come about.
