Between them there were 25 touring car race meetings held during 1999; a thirteen round series for V8 Supercars, the 1999 Shell Championship Series (SCS), two of them endurance races; an eight round series for Super Touring, the 1999 Australian Super Touring Championship (ASTC); support programme events at the 1999 Australian Grand Prix and 1999 Honda Indy 300 and two stand-alone long distance races, nicknamed 'enduros'.
