The 1991 Australian Drivers' Championship was a national competition authorized by the CAMS for competitors piloting Formula Brabham vehicles. The winner was awarded the 1991 CAMS Gold Star.
Touring car competitor Mark Skaife claimed his inaugural Australian Drivers' Championship title. All seven events were hosted exclusively at the newly established Eastern Creek Raceway in Sydney.
Calendar
The championship unfolded over seven rounds, each held at Eastern Creek Raceway:
- Round 1 on 26 May
- Rounds 2 and 3 on 21 July
- Rounds 4 and 5 on 25 August
- Rounds 6 and 7 on 29 September
Points were distributed to the top ten finishers per round using a 20–15–12–10–8–6–4–3–2–1 system. Although Australian Formula 2 cars participated from Rounds 4 through 7, only the leading ten Formula Brabham drivers earned points. The final championship standings were calculated using each driver’s best six results.
