The championship was run to all five Production Car categories of FIA's Appendix J, from Group 1 up to and including Group 5. Dieter Quester was the overall winner at the wheel of a BMW 3.0 CSL; BMW won Group 5, Group 3, and the lightly contested Group 4 as well. European Touring Car racing was in its best form since before the 1973 oil crisis, with some new teams including Jaguar (fielding a factory effort), an official return of Alpina, and mostly full starting grids.http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/1977%20ETCC.html https://web.archive.org/web/20250617233021/http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/1977%20ETCC.html 17 June 2025 European Touring Car Championship: The Great Pretender - 1977 index Touring Car Racing Results Drivers Position Driver Team Car Class Points 1 GER Dieter Quester BMW/Alpina BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 125 2 ITA Carlo Facetti Autovama FirenzeLuigi Racing UFO Alfa Romeo GTAm 2.0BMW 3.0 CSL Group 3Group 5 119 3 BEL Jean Xhenceval Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 119 BEL Pierre Dieudonné Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 5 ITA Martino Finotto Luigi Racing UFO/Jolly Club - UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 107 6 BEL Eddy Joosen Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 82 7 ITA Umberto Grano Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 80 8 CH Jörg Siegrist Spiess Volkswagen Scirocco Group 2 66 CH Anton Stocker Spiess Volkswagen Scirocco Group 2 10 BEL Claude De Wael Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 45 11 SWE Gunnar Nilsson BMW-Alpina BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 40 12 GER Willi Bergmeister Spiess/Jägermeister Racing Team Volkswagen Scirocco Group 2 38 Race results Date Round Circuit Winning drivers Winning team Winning car Class 27/03 Rd. 1 - Trofeo Mario Angiolini ITA Monza ITA Martino FinottoITA Carlo FacettiITA Umberto Grano Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 24/04 Rd. 2 - Austria-Trophée Salzburgring(Preis der Firma Elan) AUT Salzburgring GER Dieter QuesterSWE Gunnar Nilsson BMW-Alpina BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 08/05 Rd. 3 - Gran Premio Banca Toscana, Mugello ITA Mugello BEL Jean XhencevalBEL Pierre Dieudonné Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 22/05 Rd. 4 - 500 Chilometri di Pergusa Italy Enna-Pergusa ITA Martino FinottoITA Carlo Facetti Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 05/06 Rd. 5 - Grand Prix Brno Czechoslovakia Brno ITA Martino FinottoITA Carlo Facetti Jolly Club - UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 10/07 Rd. 6 - Grosser Preis der Tourenwagen Germany Nürburgring GER Dieter QuesterSWE Gunnar Nilsson BMW-Alpina BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 07/08 Rd. 7 - Zandvoort Trophy NED Zandvoort GER Dieter QuesterNED Toine Hezemans BMW-Alpina BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 18/09 Rd. 8 - Access RAC Tourist Trophy GB Silverstone GER Dieter QuesterGB Tom Walkinshaw BMW-Alpina BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 25/09 Rd. 9 - EG Trophy NED Zolder GER Dieter QuesterBEL Patrick Nève BMW-Alpina BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 09/10 Rd. 10 - 4 Horas de Jarama ESP Jarama GER Eddy JoosenITA Umberto Grano Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 16/10 Rd. 11 - Estoril 4 hours POR Estoril ITA Martino FinottoITA Carlo Facetti Luigi Racing UFO BMW 3.0 CSL Group 5 Source:http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/1977%20Class.html https://web.archive.org/web/20250810072132/http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/1977%20Class.html 10 August 2025 1977 European Touring Car championship: Championship Table Touring Car Racing Manufacturers Group 5 Points per race Place Manufacturer Total MON SAL MUG PER BRN NÜR ZAN SIL ZOL JAR EST 1 GER BMW 160 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 (20) (20) (20) 2 GBR Jaguar 37 - - - - 12 15 - 10 - - - Group 4 Points per race Place Manufacturer Total MON SAL MUG PER BRN NÜR ZAN SIL ZOL JAR EST 1 GER BMW 133 12 15 20 - 20 20 20 6 20 - - 2 GBR Ford 125 20 10 15 20 12 (4) 8 20 - - 20 3 JAP Mazda 58 - 20 - - 10 6 10 12 - - - 4 GER Opel 57 - - - 15 - 15 12 - - - 15 Group 3 Points per race Place Manufacturer Total MON SAL MUG PER BRN NÜR ZAN SIL ZOL JAR EST 1 GER BMW 150 (10) 15 20 - 20 15 (15) 20 20 20 20 2 ITA Alfa Romeo 137 20 20 12 20 15 (10) 20 (10) - 15 15 3 GBR Ford 45 - 12 - - - 20 10 3 - - - 4 ESP Chrysler 15 - - - - - - - - - 12 3The only Chrysler DNF'd which should have netted it zero points; it was seventh out of seven Group 3 starters which would have netted it four points if classified. 5 GBR Triumph 10 - - - - 10 - - - - - - Group 2 Points per race Place Manufacturer Total MON SAL MUG PER BRN NÜR ZAN SIL ZOL JAR EST 1 GER Volkswagen 160 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 (20) (20) (20) 2 GER Audi 89 15 12 8 12 15 12 8? - 15 - - 3 ITA Alfa Romeo 32 10 - 12 10 - - - - - - - 4 FRA Renault 18 - - - - 10 - - 6 - - - 5 JAP MitsubishiEntered as "Colt" 15 - - - - - - - 15 - - - 6 GBR Ford 15 - - - - - - 15 - - - - 6 GER Opel 4 - - - 4 - - - - - - - 6 GER BMW 3 - - - 3 - - - - - - - References 30em Category:European Touring Car Championship seasons European Touring Car
