From 1973, CAMS introduced a new production based Group C touring car formula.
Defending champion Bob Jane won his fourth and final Australian Touring Car Championship in his Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1.
Second in the championship was the Ford Escort Twin Cam Mk.1 of Mike Stillwell whose consistent placings in the under 2.0 litre class saw him finish 11 points behind Jane.
The 1972 Australian Touring Car Championship was contested over an eight-round series with one race per round.
