Due to financial difficulties and management changes the event was rescheduled to October. The FIM rules are that a race date cannot be changed once the calendar is ratified so would not sanction the race. The race was therefore run as an AMA Road Race National not a F750 event. Points system Points for each event were awarded as below, events at Imola, Silverstone and Hockenheim consisted of two races and points were awarded by aggregate times of the two. At Hockenheim, Jack Findlay won the first race but fell in the second. As there was no aggregate time over the two rounds for him he wasn't awarded points. Suzuki objected and the points awarded were based on positions in each race. Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Points 15 12 10 8 6 5 4 3 2 1 Only the four best results achieved by a rider counted towards the championship standings.
