Championship Points System
Australian Endurance Championship points were awarded to the drivers of the top twenty placed cars in each round, with the actual allocation dependent on the outright position obtained and the class in which the car was competing.

Two drivers per car were compulsory at both the Sandown and Bathurst rounds. For races in which two drivers per car were not compulsory but two drivers each drove more than one third distance, points for the position gained were shared equally between the two drivers. For races in which two drivers per car were not compulsory but two drivers did not both drive more than one third distance each, full points were awarded to the driver who drove the greater distance. For races in which two drivers were compulsory, full points were awarded to both drivers provided that each had driven more than one third distance. In all cases points were only awarded to a driver who had driven no more than one car during the event.
Only the highest scoring car of each make earned points (for its manufacturer in each race) and then only the points applicable to the position filled.

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or system:
“The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens and greater sphere of country over which the latter may be extended.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“[Madness] is the jail we could all end up in. And we know it. And watch our step. For a lifetime. We behave. A fantastic and entire system of social control, by the threat of example as effective over the general population as detention centers in dictatorships, the image of the madhouse floats through every mind for the course of its lifetime.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
