1969 Australian Drivers' Championship

The 1969 Australian Drivers' Championship was a CAMS sanctioned national motor racing title for drivers of cars conforming to Australian National Formula or Australian 1½ Litre Formula regulations. The title was contested over a six race series with the winner awarded the 1969 CAMS Gold Star.

Kevin Bartlett won his second Australian Drivers' Championship driving the Mildren 'Mono' car with either an Alfa Romeo V8 or a Waggott TC4V inline 4 for motive power.[1] Bartlett won three of the six races to finish 16 points ahead of Leo Geoghegan (Lotus 39-Repco). Bartlett's Alec Mildren Racing team mate Max Stewart finished third in the points standings, driving the Mildren Waggott built by Rennmax Engineering.

In addition to Bartlett's three wins, single victories were taken by Jack Brabham (Brabham BT31-Repco), John Harvey (Brabham BT23E-Repco) and Garrie Cooper (Elfin 600C-Repco).
