1963 Australian Drivers' Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1963 Australian Drivers' Championship was a CAMS sanctioned national motor racing title for drivers of Formula Libre cars with the championship winner awarded the 1963 CAMS Gold Star. The title was contested over a six-round series:
- Round 1, Australian Grand Prix, Warwick Farm, New South Wales, 10 February
- Round 2, Lakeside International, Lakeside, Queensland, 17 February
- Round 3, South Pacific Gold Star Championship, Longford, Tasmania, 4 March
- Round 4, Victorian Road Racing Championship, Sandown, Victoria, 15 September
- Round 5, Gold Star Championship Race, Mallala, South Australia, 14 October
- Round 6, Horden Trophy, Warwick Farm, New South Wales, 1 December
Championship points were awarded on a 12-7-5-3-2-1 basis at each round to the top six Australians licence holders. Race placings gained by drivers who were not Australian licence holders were disregarded by CAMS when determining placings for points allocation. Each driver could retain points only from the Australian Grand Prix plus his/her best four performances from the other five rounds.
The championship was won by Bib Stillwell driving a Repco Brabham Climax.
