Standings
Scoring system
Drivers will score points in the overall standings, as well as in separate standings per class. Five points will be awarded to each driver attending an event. Claiming the fastest lap per race per class will award a point if at least three cars took part in that class.
The shorter first race of each weekend, designated as the Sprint Race, will see finishing drivers score the following points:
| Position | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 20 | 16 | 13 | 11 | 9 | 7 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
The second race of each weekend, called the Feature Race, will award more points:
| Position | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 30 | 23 | 18 | 14 | 11 | 9 | 7 | 5 | 3 | 1 |
The final score will be formed by counting each drivers' five best sprint race scores, six best feature race scores as well as the attendance points for all race weekends.[5]
