1997 ARDC AMSCAR series

The 1997 ARDC AMSCAR series was an Australian touring car series and was run for cars eligible to V8 Supercar specifications, although the series was not sanctioned by AVESCO. It began on June 22, 1997 at Eastern Creek Raceway and ended on December 7 at Eastern Creek Raceway after four rounds.

The series was run by the Australian Racing Drivers Club (ARDC) over the two circuits operated by the club in Sydney, Australia. It was the last such series to bear the AMSCAR name having been last run previously during the 1994 season. The series itself dated back to the 1970's, a descendant of the Sydney based Toby Lee touring cars series.

The 1997 series can be seen as the immediate fore-runner for today's Fujitsu V8 Supercars Series, acting as a second tier series for touring cars contested by privately owned and funded touring car teams, known colloquially as 'privateers'.
