Calendar
John Smith won the 1981 Australian Formula 2 Championship in a Ralt RT1, similar to that pictured above.
The championship was contested over a six-round series.[3]
All rounds were staged over two heats except for the final round at Calder, which was contested as a single race.[3]
Points system
Championship points were awarded on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis for the first six positions at each round.[1] Where a round was contested over two heats, points were allocated on a 20-16-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for the first 14 positions in each heat and then aggregated for each driver to determine the first six positions for the round.[1]
