The 1971 Australian Manufacturers' Championship was a CAMS sanctioned Australian motor racing title open to Group E Series Production Touring Cars.[1] The championship, which was the inaugural Australian Manufacturers' Championship,[2] was won by General Motors-Holden's.[2]

Calendar edit

The championship was contested over a five heat series,[1] with each heat being a single race staged over a minimum duration of three hours.[1]

Class Structure edit

Cars competed in five classes based on a Capacity / Price index in which the engine capacity in litres was multiplied by the retail price to determine the CP units for each model.[4]

  • Class A: 0-3,000 CP units[4]
  • Class B: 3,001-4,600 CP units[4]
  • Class C: 4,601-9,000 CP units[4]
  • Class D: 9,001-18,000 CP units[4]
  • Class E: Over 18,000 CP units[4]

Points system edit

Championship points were awarded on a 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for the first nine positions in each class plus 4-3-2-1 for the first four positions outright.[1] Only the best placed car from a manufacturer was eligible to score points.[11]
