World Sportscar Championship

Following the 1975 season, the FIA chose to divide the World Championship into two series that would run simultaneously but separately. Open-cockpit sportscars would transfer from the World Championship for Makes to a new World Championship for Sports Cars, while production-based cars would contest the World Championship for Makes. Events in which both types of car ran, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, were not counted towards either championship.
