1987 Under 2 Litre Australian Touring Car Championship
The 2L championship whimpered along to a conclusion before the enduros, with two final rounds at Lakeside and Amaroo. The field was once again filled out with Group E production cars.
Skaife would win both rounds, taking out the championship.
According to AMRY, the points were as follows:
Skaife 107, Price 102, Faulkner 87, Smith 84, Ratcliff 74, Holden 24
Not sure what points scheme this would follow, certainly not the standard ATCC one.
