Two drivers per car were compulsory at both the Sandown and Bathurst rounds. For races in which two drivers per car were not compulsory but two drivers each drove more than one third distance, points for the position gained were shared equally between the two drivers. For races in which two drivers per car were not compulsory but two drivers did not both drive more than one third distance each, full points were awarded to the driver who drove the greater distance. For races in which two drivers were compulsory, full points were awarded to both drivers provided that each had driven more than one third distance. In all cases points were only awarded to a driver who had driven no more than one car during the event.
