1962 World Sportscar Championship season

The 1962 International Championship for GT Manufacturers season was the 10th season of the FIA World Sportscar Championship. It was a series for Sportscars and Grand Touring cars. It ran from February 11, 1962 to October 21, 1962, and featured 15 races.

This was also the first year that each class had its own championship, instead of a singular overall Manufacturers Championship.

Schedule
Although composed of 15 races, each class did not compete in all events. Some events were for one class, while others were combined events.

Manufacturers' Championship
All championships scored points to the top six competitors in each class, in the order of 9-6-4-3-2-1. Constructors were only awarded points for their highest finishing car. Other finishers from the same manufacturer were merely skipped in the points count.

Only the best 5 results counted towards the championship. Points earned but not counted towards the championship total are listed in italics.
