The 1978 Australian Championship of Makes was a CAMS sanctioned national motor racing title for car manufacturers. [1] The championship was contested over a five round series. [2]
All rounds were contested by Group C Touring Cars [1] which competed in three classes according to engine capacity. [3]
Championship points were awarded at each round on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis for the first six places in each class. Only the best placed car from each manufacturer in each class was eligible to score points [1] and points could not be aggregated across classes. [4]
