The '''1998 Australian Super Touring Championship''' was the sixth running of a [[Confederation of Australian Motor Sport|CAMS]] sanctioned motor racing series in [[Australia]] under the [[Super Touring Car]] regulations and the fourth to carry the [[Australian Super Touring Championship]] name.  It began on 5 April 1998 at [[Calder Park Raceway]] and ended on 30 August at [[Oran Park Raceway]] after eight rounds. The series was promoted by TOCA Australia as the 1998 BOC Gases Australian Super Touring Championship. As in the [[British Touring Car Championship]] the race format changed with each meeting now consisting a shorter "sprint" race and a "feature" race, 25% longer than previous races featuring a mandatory two-tyre stop to be taken between 15 and 75% distance. The one exception was the round at [[Lakeside International Raceway|Lakeside Raceway]] where the pit lane was deemed unsuitable.
