The 1975 World Sportscar Championship season was the 23rd season of FIAWorld Sportscar Championship motor racing. It featured the 1975 World Championship for Makes[1] which was open to Group 5 Sports Cars and Group 4 Special GT Cars.[2] It also included the FIA Cup for GT Cars and the FIA Cup for 2-Litre Cars.[1] The three titles were contested concurrently over a nine race series which ran from 1 February to 12 July 1975.
† Due to a lack of Group 5 entries, the FIA initially rescinded the championship status of the Daytona race. Several months after the event the FIA retroactively conferred championship status to the race and placed cars into the classes they would theoretically have entered.[3]
