2017 Australian GT Championship

The 2017 Australian GT Championship is the 21st running of the Australian GT Championship, a CAMS-sanctioned Australian motor racing championship open to FIA GT3 cars and similar cars as approved for the championship. The season will begin on 2 March 2017 at the Adelaide Street Circuit and will end on 19 November at Wakefield Park, with two rounds held in New Zealand.

Following the success of the previous year, the season is divided into the Australian GT Championship and the Australian Endurance Championship, both featuring GT3 cars. A third series for older-specification GT3 and GT4 class cars, the CAMS Australian GT Trophy Series, is also held.

The Australian GT Championship events are held in support of five V8 Supercar events. The Australian Endurance Championship shares an event with the Shannons Nationals, another with V8 Supercars, and its final two rounds are staged at Hampton Downs and Highlands Motorsport Park, both owned by series owner Tony Quinn. The Australian GT Trophy Series is contested exclusively at Shannons Nationals events.

The 2017 season included three separate series:

All competitors are able to enter the Australian GT Championship and the Australian Endurance Championship, and all were eligible to win the championships outright, however only older-specification cars could enter the Australian GT Trophy Series.

The Australian GT Championship is contested over five rounds, the Australian Endurance Championship over four rounds and the Australian GT Trophy Series over five rounds. Each race, with the exception of the Australian Grand Prix round of the Australian GT Championship, includes at least one compulsory timed pit stop.
