1977 World Sportscar Championship season
Previous: 1976 Next: 1978

The 1977 World Sports Car Championship season was part of the 25th FIA World Sportscar Championship. It was a series open-cockpit sports cars. It ran from April 17, 1977 to September 18, 1977, and comprised 8 races total.

World Championship of Makes[]

Main article: 1977 World Championship for Makes season

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.
