Championship standings

Scoring system Points are awarded to the top ten classified finishers in Races 1 and 3, and to the top eight classified finishers in the reverse-grid Race 2. All three races were run to a set lap count, with time-certain limits of 30 minutes for Races 1 and 3, and 20 minutes for Race 2. The pole-sitter in each Race 1 and 3 also receives two points respectively, and one point is given to the driver who sets the fastest lap of the race provided that the driver finishes inside the top ten. No point is awarded if the fastest lap time is achieved by a driver outside the top ten. No extra points are awarded to the pole-sitter in Race 2. This means there is a possible maximum of 67 points available per race meeting.
