The 1975 Australian Sports Car Championship was a CAMS sanctioned national motor racing title for drivers of Group A Sports Cars and Group D Production Sports Cars.[1] The championship was contested over a single race staged at the Phillip Island circuit in Victoria on 30 November 1975. The race was run over 30 laps of the 4.76 km circuit, a total of 143 km. Of 58 entries, 40 started the event and 20 were classified as finishers.[2] This was the only Australian Sports Car Championship in the twenty-year history of the title to be contested over a single race rather than over a series of races.[3]
