1958 Australian Drivers' Championship


The 1958 Australian Drivers' Championship was a CAMS sanctioned Australian motor racing competition for drivers of Formula Libre cars. It was the second Australian Drivers' Championship. The title was contested over a nine race series with the winner awarded the 1958 CAMS Gold Star.
The championship was won by Stan Jones, driving a Maserati 250F.

Calendar

Championship points were awarded on an 8-5-3-2-1 basis to the top five finishers in each race.
However, as overseas drivers were ineligible to qualify for championship points, no points were awarded for placings scored by these drivers. Similarly drivers of sports cars which on occasion raced amongst the Formula Libre cars, were not eligible for points, although Doug Whiteford's Maserati 300S appears to have been an exception.
