The Sandown 500, Bathurst 1000 and the Gold Coast 600 – races counting towards the Endurance Cup – retained their respective event formats of a single 500-kilometre, 1000-kilometre and two 300-kilometre races.

The last event held under lights was the opening round of the 1997 season, held at Calder Park Raceway. Rule changes 2014 saw practice sessions become time-certain, whereby the session finished after a designated amount of time with no allowance for session interruptions, such as red flags. Qualifying sessions run on the same day as each other were allowed a fifteen-minute extension shared between the sessions if required. Additional practice sessions were held at the Winton, Queensland Raceway and Sydney Motorsport Park events. The 2014 season saw changes to the regulations regarding abandoned starts which require an additional formation lap and for the suspension and resumption of races in the case of a red flag. The procedure used for safety car restarts was also revised. Previously, the lead car controlled the pace until the safety car entered the pit lane at which point the lead car could accelerate. The new rules dictated that the lead car must maintain a speed between fifty and sixty kilometres-per-hour until it reached the "Acceleration Zone" located before the control line – mimicking the restart procedure used for the second half of the 60/60 Sprint format used in 2013 – at which point the driver could accelerate and racing resumed. This was in response to several incidents where the lead car accelerated too early on the safety car restart, most notably at the 2013 Austin 400 where Fabian Coulthard, Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes were penalised for the infringement. Following the Clipsal 500, where Jason Bright's car had rolled following a safety car restart, the restart procedure was reviewed and changed for the second event of the championship. The Acceleration Zone was lengthened and the lead-up speed was raised to be between sixty and eighty kilometres-per-hour. Drivers were no longer allowed to overtake prior to the control line.https://speedcafe.com/v8-supercars-confirms-safety-car-restart-changes/ V8 Supercars confirms Safety Car restart changes Speedcafe Bartholomaeus Stefan 20 March 2014 23 March 2014 The safety car restart procedure was eventually changed back to the 2013 system, with Todd Kelly stating that the 2014 procedure had been difficult to manage for the drivers.http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/championship/pedders-chrysler-safety-car-restarts-revert Pedders Chrysler Safety car restarts revert V8Supercars.com.au 17 April 2014 17 April 2014 19 April 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140419015443/http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/championship/pedders-chrysler-safety-car-restarts-revert live Cars were required to take on a specified amount of fuel in the Sunday race at all events bar the Endurance Cup events.http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/v8-supercars-releases-2014-rule-changes V8 Supercars Releases 2014 Rule Changes V8Supercars.com.au 15 November 2013 15 November 2013 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20131118185545/http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/v8-supercars-releases-2014-rule-changes 18 November 2013 Season report Craig Lowndes left the first event of the championship leading the points standings ahead of Fabian Coulthard and Shane van Gisbergen.https://speedcafe.com/courtney-wins-dramatic-clipsal-500-finale/ Courtney wins dramatic Clipsal 500 finale Speedcafe Bartholomaeus Stefan 2 March 2014 1 March 2014 3 December 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20241203182228/https://speedcafe.com/courtney-wins-dramatic-clipsal-500-finale/ live Lowndes' teammate Jamie Whincup won the first race of the weekend ahead of Lowndes and van Gisbergen.https://speedcafe.com/whincup-takes-opening-race-adelaide/ Whincup takes opening race in Adelaide Speedcafe Bartholomaeus Stefan 1 March 2014 10 March 2014 2 March 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20240302092219/https://speedcafe.com/whincup-takes-opening-race-adelaide/ live Lowndes then won the second race ahead of Scott McLaughlin—in a strong début for the Volvo S60—and Whincup.
