Calendar

The championship was contested over a five round series with two heats per round.

Classes

Cars competed in two engine displacement classes:

  • Up to and including 2000cc
  • Over 2000cc
  • Points system

    Round results were determined by allocating points on a 20-16-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for the top fourteen places in each heat. Where drivers attained the same number of points, the placings achieved in the second heat were used to determine the round placing.

    Actual championship points were then awarded on a 4-3-2-1 basis for the first four outright places at each round, regardless of class. Additionally, championship points were awarded on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis for the first six places in each class at each round.

    The top nine championship placings were as follows:
