The 2015 V8 Supercars Dunlop Series featured a new race number allocation system. Each year since the series began in 2000, the race number pool was shared with the main V8 Supercars Championship, meaning that numbers used in that series could not be used in the Dunlop Series. For 2015, an individual number pool was allocated to each series.

Calendar

The 2015 V8 Supercars Dunlop Series was contested over seven rounds.[11] The calendar was released on 18 November 2014.[11]
