Sportsvogns-VM

En Rothmans Porsche 956 på Silverstone

Sportsvogns-VM eller World Sportscar Championship var verdensmesterskapet for sportsvognsracing arrangert av FIA fra 1953 til 1992.

Mesterskapet utviklet seg fra en liten samling av de viktigste løpene innen sportsvogns-, utholdenhets- og landeveisracing i Europa og Nord-Amerika med dusinvis av gentlemanførere på griden, til et profesjonelt racingmesterskap som verdens største bilprodusenter brukte millioner av dollar per år på. Det offisielle navnet på mesterskapet forandret seg over årene, men det har hovedsakelig vært kjent som World Sportscar Championship, eller Sportsvogn-VM på norsk, siden den første sesongen i 1953. Sportsvogns-VM var det ene av de to store verdensmesterskapene innen baneracing, med Formel 1-verdensmesterskapet som det andre.

I 2012 ble et verdensmesterskap for sportsvognsracing på nytt etablert med World Endurance Championship.
