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 |

| 7th place | 14 points | 28 points |
| 8th place | 13 points | 26 points |

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or system:
“Wi’ joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet,
An’ each for other’s weelfare kindly spiers:
The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet;
Each tells the uncos that he sees or hears;
The parents, partial, eye their hopeful years;
Anticipation forward points the view:”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
“Whoever places his trust into a system will soon be without a home. While you are building your third story, the two lower ones have already been dismantled.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
