Australian Sports Car Championship


The Australian Sports Car Championship was the national title for sports car racing drivers sanctioned by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport from 1969 to 1988. Each championship was contested over a series of races with the exception of the 1975 title, which was awarded on the results of a single race held at the Phillip Island circuit in Victoria.
Repco was driven to victory in the 1969 Australian Sports Car Championship by Frank Matich
Championship races were open to purpose-built sports racing cars complying with CAMS Group A Sports Car regulations except for the years 1976 to 1981 in which they were restricted to Group D Production Sports Cars.
Local manufacturers Matich, Elfin, Kaditcha, and K&A Engineering, along with McLaren dominated the series when run under Group A rules, while Porsche drivers won all six Group D based championships.
