Championship standings edit

Scoring system edit

Points were awarded to the top fifteen classified drivers in every race, using the following system:

Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th
Points 25 20 17 14 12 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

In order for full points to be awarded, the race winner must complete at least 50% of the scheduled race distance. Half points are awarded if the race winner completes less than 50% of the race distance. In the event of a tie at the conclusion of the championship, a count-back system is used as a tie-breaker, with a driver's/constructor's best result used to decide the standings.[7]

Guest drivers are ineligible to score points. If a guest driver finishes in first position, the second placed finisher will receive 25 points. The same goes for every other points scoring position. So if three guest drivers end up placed fourth, fifth and sixth, the seventh placed finisher will receive fourteen points and so forth - until the eighteenth placed finisher receives the final point.
