Race calendar

The 2022 calendar was announced on 23 September 2021. Each round is set to feature three races. A pre-season invitational non-points event was scheduled to be held on 24-27 March at Road Atlanta.[17] After a round in Canada was attempted to be held for the last two years, but was cancelled both times, the 2022 schedule once again only consists of races inside the US.[18]
