[edit] Season Results
Points were awarded to the top 10 finishers in the order of 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1, with the following exceptions:
- Drivers failing to drive the car within a certain percentage of the laps in a race were not given points.
- Manufacturers were only given points for their highest finishing car; any other cars from that manufacturer were merely skipped in the points standings. Points were still awarded to their drivers however.
- Neither driver nor manufacturer scored points if they did not complete 90% of the winner's distance.

[edit] Overall Manufacturers Championship
All cars were awarded points for the overall championship, but C2 and B class cars were scored separately for their own championship.
Chassis builder and engine builder were considered as a single constructor, thus multiple chassis or engines can be listed.
Only the best 5 points finishes counted towards the championship, with any other points earned not included in the total. Skipped points are marked in italics.
