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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| If car in Class A | 30 | 27 | 24 | 21 | 19 | 17 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| If car in Class B | 28 | 26 | 23 | 20 | 18 | 16 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |

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.
