The European championship was held in conjunction with the 1983 World Endurance Championship, sharing the first five race events before departing for outside Europe. As such, many drivers and teams competed in both championships.

All events covered a distance of 1,000 km (620 mi) with exception of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The first five events were shared with the World Endurance Championship. The Monza round was shared with the Italian Championship Group 6, although their race lasted only 14 laps and the cars did not complete the full endurance race distance.
