1976 World Sportscar Championship

[3] The championship was contested over a seven race series which ran from 4 April to 19 September and included a secondary award, the 1976 FIA Cup for Cars up to 2 Litres.

The championship was won by Porsche[1] and the FIA Cup by Lola.

Points were awarded to the top ten finishers in each race in the order of 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1.

[4] For the 1976 season, the FIA chose to run two separate World Championships for "sportscars".

The 1976 24 Hours of Le Mans, which was open to both types of cars, did not count towards either championship.

Porsche won the championship with its 908/3 and 936 models. A 936 in 1977 livery is pictured above.
