This year Interserie took another step forward. There was the fact that Porsche made it clear that they will support the races, either with factory cars or customer support, and would use the early events as a test programme for their Can-Am program.
Nine races were on the calendar; five in Germany (2 x Nürburgring, 2x Hockenheim, Norisring), Imola, Silverstone, Zeltweg and again a race at Keimola.
