1983 - Interserie

1983 Interserie championship. 

The 1983 Interseries brought together a small but competitive field at iconic European circuits. With powerful Division I ( Gr6, Gr7 and CanAm) and older DivisionII prototypes and open regulations, the season delivered thrilling races at venues like Zeltweg, Most, and Hockenheim. Drivers like Walter Lechner set the tone for a year that, despite a limited field, offered plenty of motorsport action.
