1977 World Championship for Makes season

The 1977 World Championship for Makes season was part of the 25th season of FIA World Sportscar Championship racing. It featured a series for Group 5 Special Production Cars, Group 3 & 4 Grand Touring Cars and Group 1 & 2 Touring Cars which ran from February 5, 1977 to October 23, 1977, and comprised 9 races in total.

World Sportscar Championship
For 1977, the FIA continued to run a divided World Championship, with 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.

Following the 1977 season, the World Championship of Makes would become the lone international series, while the World Sports Car Championship would be downgraded by the FIA to become the European Sportscar Championship. That series would only last the 1978 season before being dissolved.

Manufacturers championships
Points were awarded to the top 10 finishers in the order of 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1. Manufacturers were only given points for their highest finishing car; any other cars from that manufacturer were merely skipped in the points standings.

Only the best 7 points finishes counted towards the championship, with any other points earned not included in the total. Skipped points are marked in italics. Half points were awarded for Round 7 due to the race being stopped prior to half distance.

Overall Manufacturers Championship
All cars were awarded points for the overall championship, but a separate championship was also held for cars under 2.0 litres.
