2012 RROL Elite Series season

The 2012 RROL Elite Series season was the fifteenth season of RROL competition and the only one run under the current ownership.

The series implemented the twin-race format used by the ARLA Elite Series for most its events, due in part to the large number of full-time entries. The only exception was the season finale at Rockingham. As a result, qualifying races were been eliminated.

Back to basics
After the original RROL Elite Series went under at the end of the 2010 RROL season, the series was bought out and the Vaughn Stock Car Championship was formed. The 2011 Vaughn Stock Car Championship season had nineteen scheduled races. However, due to management issues, the season was shortened to just nine events following the Round of Karjala. During the week of Clairmont, the season finale, series officials announced that the series would go dormant at the conclusion of the season. However, not days later, an investment group came in and purchased the series, reverting to the old RROL name. The finale at Clairmont was never run. Many teams from the former RROL and VSCC are expected to return to the series, despite the second ownership change in two years. Much is unknown for the 2012 RROL Season, as details are to be announced at a later time. The stability of the series has been thrown into question several times by many observers.

Schedule
Unlike in previous seasons, all the international races except for Clairmont were scrapped for 2012 in favor of more American tracks.

2012 points system
Points system is revised from prior seasons.
