Points System
The point system used is similar to other race series in that the most points are awarded to the first place finisher and points are reduced for subsequent finishing places. The Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup is unique in that the points are halved for the first two races compared to the points for the rest of the season.

|---|---|---|
| 1st place | 30 points | 60 points |
| 2nd place | 24 points | 48 points |
| 3rd place | 20 points | 40 points |
| 4th place | 17 points | 34 points |
| 5th place | 16 points | 32 points |
| 6th place | 15 points | 30 points |
| 7th place | 14 points | 28 points |
| 8th place | 13 points | 26 points |
| 9th place | 12 points | 24 points |

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or system:
“Sometimes apparent resemblances of character will bring two men together and for a certain time unite them. But their mistake gradually becomes evident, and they are astonished to find themselves not only far apart, but even repelled, in some sort, at all their points of contact.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
“The violent illiteracies of the graffiti, the clenched silence of the adolescent, the nonsense cries from the stage-happening, are resolutely strategic. The insurgent and the freak-out have broken off discourse with a cultural system which they despise as a cruel, antiquated fraud. They will not bandy words with it. Accept, even momentarily, the conventions of literate linguistic exchange, and you are caught in the net of the old values, of the grammars that can condescend or enslave.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
