Points System
Championship points were awarded on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis to the first six placegetters in each of the two classes. Bonus points were awarded on a 4-3-2-1 basis to the first four placegetters irrespective of class. Only the best six scores counted towards the championship totals.
Where a round was contested in two parts, points were allocated on a 20-16-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis to the first 14 place-getters in each part and then aggregated. If more than one driver attained the same total, the superior round placing was awarded to the driver who was higher placed in the last part. Championship points were then awarded for the round.
