Championship Standings
The point system was modified from previous years for the 2009 season. Points are awarded as follows:
| Pos | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 20 | 16 | 14 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
- Bonus points will also be awarded for the fastest driver in a qualifying session (10 races will have two sessions), and most places gained during the race.
- This means the maximum a driver can score is 21, as a driver cannot earn the most places gained point, if they've started from pole.
- Only the driver's best eleven scores will count towards the championship.
