[edit] Overall Manufacturers Championship
Group 5 Sports Cars and Group 4 Grand Touring Cars were awarded points for the overall championship, but the GT class also had their own separate award.
Cars participating in races that were not included in the Sports or GT classes (such as Group 2 Touring Cars) were skipped when awarding points for the overall championship.
Only the best 8 points finishes counted towards the championship, with any other points earned not included in the total. Discarded points are shown in brackets.
