Race calendar and results
A six-round calendar was published in December 2015.[8] This was however revised in January 2016, with now four races per round being held, as opposed to the triple-header rounds that were run on previous years.[1]
Race format
- Race 1 grid will be set by second fastest qualifying lap.
- Race 2 will be an inversion of the top 10 from race 1.
- Race 3 grid will be set by fastest qualifying lap.
- Race 4 will be set by the finishing order of race 3.[9]
- ^ Pierre-Alexandre Jean originally scored pole, but he was issued a 5-place grid penalty after race 2.
