Note: The 1969 Sam Hordern Memorial Trophy, which incorporated the 1969 Australian Formula 2 Championship, was a round of the 1969 Australian Drivers' Championship. It was open to both Australian National Formula cars and Australian Formula 2 cars, however the former were not eligible for the Australian Formula 2 Championship and thus are not included in the above table.
