1985 World Sportscar Championship Season - Drivers Championship

Drivers Championship

Points were awarded to the drivers of the top 10 placed cars in the order of 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 and drivers of C2 cars were also awarded 2 bonus points if they finished in any of the top ten outright positions. However points were not awarded if a driver:

  • drove more than one car in the race
  • failed to drive the car for at least 30% of the distance
  • drove a car which did not complete 90% of the winner's distance

All drivers were eligible to score points in the overall championship, but drivers of C2 class cars were also awarded points separately for their own title.

Only half points were awarded at Round 9 due to the race being stopped with less than 50% distance having been covered.
