World Championship of Makes
Following the 1975 season, the FIA chose to divide the World Championship into two series that would run simultaneously. Open-cockpit sportscars would remain in the World Sports Car Championship, while production-based Group 5 cars would be part of the new World Championship for Makes. Events in which both types of car ran, such as the 12 Hours of Sebring or 24 Hours of Le Mans, were not counted towards either championship.

Famous quotes containing the word world:
“Is it possible, after all, that spite of bricks and shaven faces, this world we live in is brimmed with wonders, and I and all mankind, beneath our garbs of common-placeness, conceal enigmas that the stars themselves, and perhaps the highest seraphim can not resolve?”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
