Drivers' Championships Points are awarded to the top 8 finishers in the order of 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. Drivers who do not drive for at least one hour do not receive points.

Points are awarded to a single driver and car combination. If a driver wins points driving a different car in a different event, those points are listed separately. Drivers listed multiple times in the points standings are marked with an asterisk.
