The 1973 Australian Formula 2 Championship was a CAMS sanctioned motor racing title open to Australian Formula 2 racing cars.[1] It was the seventh Australian Formula 2 Championship to be awarded by CAMS.[2]

The championship was dominated by multiple-championship winning driver Leo Geoghegan, who scored a perfect 54 points from six round wins over the course of the season.

Calendar

[edit]

The championship was contested over a seven-round series with one race per round.[3]

Points system
