Scoring system
Points are awarded to the top twenty-five classified drivers, and the top drivers who are able to achieve the Pole Position or the Fastest Lap during the qualify session are awarded with corresponding +3 and +2 bonus points.
The Season Championship will recognize only each driver's best 18 of 21 race results including all bonus points earned.
The weekend format and with it the points system were overhauled for the 2026 season. Each weekend will now comprise three races, the first two of which are designated as Heat Races and award points per class according to the following scale.
Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th+ DNF Points2523211917151311109876543211
Race 3 The third race of the weekend, called the Feature Race, awards more points:
