2012 Australian Sports Sedan season
The 2012 Australian Sports Sedan season is the 28th season of Australian Sports Sedan motor racing in which a national championship or national series has been contested. The season featured the 2012 Kerrick Sports Sedan Series, which began on 14 April 2011 at Mallala Motor Sport Park and will end on 14 October at Wakefield Park after fifteen races.
Kerry Baily claimed his sixth Australian Sports Sedan crown after winning the first five races of the series and consistently finishing on the podium.

Drivers Points
The point score system was given a major shake up in 2012. Emphasis on the three races the make up each round was changed, placing a sliding scale on race length and points value with the third race worth twice as many points as the first race with the second race splitting the difference.| Position | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th | 11th | 12th | 13th | 14th | 15th & below |
