* The 1977 World Championship for Makes,<ref name=FIA1977/> which was open to cars from various production-based categories including [[Group 5 Special Production Cars]]
 
In 1978 the World Championship of Makes would become the sole international series, while the World Championship for Sports Cars would be downgraded by the FIA to become the [[European Sportscar Championship]]. The European Championship was discontinued at the end of the 1978 season.
==World Championship of Makes==
{{main|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.
 
==World Championship for Sports Cars==
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.
The 1977 World Championship for Sports Cars, which was restricted to [[Group 6 Two-Seater Racing Cars]], was contested over an eight race series which ran from 17 April to 18 September 1977. The championship was won by [[Alfa Romeo]].
