Race calendar
[edit]All races were held at the Rockingham Motor Speedway in Corby, Northamptonshire.
The season consisted of six meetings of two races taking place on the first Sunday of each month from May to October. The grid for the opening race of each meeting was set by a qualifying session with the second race grid being set by the finishing order of the first.
A meeting at the EuroSpeedway in Germany was scheduled for late August but was cancelled due to concerns with travel costs.

Final points standings
[edit]The 2005 season saw a change in the points system. Rather than every driver taking the start of the race being eligible for full points as before, now only those that complete at least 60% distance and are running at the end of the race get full points for their finishing position. Anyone that completes less than 60% race distance scores 10 points as long as they take the start and are not excluded from the final result.
