Lukey was one of only a few drivers who attempted to complete the gruelling twelve race schedule, the longest in ADC history.
Lukey finished just two points ahead of his season long rival, Alec Mildren from the ACT[1] (Cooper-Climax).
Lukey, Jones and Bill Patterson each took two wins, with single victories going to Jack Brabham, Bib Stillwell and New Zealand Maserati 250F racer Ross Jensen.
The title, which was the third Australian Drivers' Championship,[2] was contested over a twelve race series.
[7] As only Australian resident drivers were eligible, South Pacific Championship winner Jack Brabham and Bathurst 100 winner Ross Jensen were not awarded points towards the championship.
