The 1997 SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge season was the eighth running of the Sports Car Club of America’s World Challenge series. The 1997 season is notable in that it began a thirteen-year era of the touring car class being contested primarily between BMW Mazda and Acura. This would change in 2010 with the adoption of an entirely new format. 1997 would also see the end of combined classes with separate races for each group. This would also last until the 2010 season.
