The season started on 22 March at Zhuhai International Circuit and concluded on 28 September at Shanghai International Circuit after ten races held at five meetings. In addition, the series went for the first time to the Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia.

Schiff won the championship by 135 points from Kenneth Ma, who did not finish better than third in any of the 10 races. Yang Xu finished a further 33 points behind in third place, having taken four successive second place finishes at the end of the season. The season's other winners were Eric Lo at the opening round in Zhuhai, and Byron Tong, who won at the second Zhuhai meeting.
