Notes:- — Scott Pye received a two-place grid penalty for impeding Jason Bright during qualifying for Race 2.
- — Simona de Silvestro received a two-place grid penalty for impeding Nick Percat during qualifying for Race 2. However, due to the fact that the offending driver could only be moved down one grid spot, the remainder of the penalty will be served at the next championship round, the 2017 Tyrepower Tasmania SuperSprint.
