# 2024 NSW Formula Car Championship

The 2024 Motorsport Australia NSW Formula Car Championship was the 14th season of the NSW Formula Car Championship, run as a fully affiliated Motorsport Australia State Championship since 2011.
The championship was originally planned to be run over six weekends, starting on 27 April at Winton Motor Raceway. As the last two weekends did not go ahead as scheduled, the championship ended after four rounds, on 20 October at Sydney Motorsport Park. Rodney Baker won the title after going on an eleven-race winning spree that only ended when he retired from the final race of the season.
2024 saw the series continue its cooperation with the Australian Formula Open series, with the championships sharing grids and race slots on multiple occasions.
