1975 Australian Manufacturers' Championship

The 1975 Australian Manufacturers' Championship was a CAMS sanctioned national motor racing title for vehicles manufacturers.[1] The championship was contested over a five round series.[2]

Each round was a single race of 250 km distance or greater, open to Group C Touring Cars. Cars competed in four classes based on engine capacity:

  • Up to 1300cc
  • 1301-2000cc
  • 2001-3000cc
  • Over 3000cc

For all rounds other than the Bathurst round, championship points were awarded on a 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for the first nine places in each class. For the Bathurst round, championship points were awarded on an 18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2 basis for the first nine places in each class. Additional points were awarded at all rounds on a 4-3-2-1 basis for the first four outright places. Only the highest placed vehicle from each manufacturer was eligible to score points at any given round.[1]
