[edit] Points Scoring

  • Competitors must have completed 70% of the race distance covered by the class winner to be classified.
  • If less than six starters compete in a given class, points scoring for that race for that class will be halved.
  • The points system is as follows, where the team scores the same number of points as one driver:
Position Points
1st 10
2nd 8
3rd 6
4th 5
5th 4
6th 3
7th 2
8th 1

[edit] Rule changes

  • All cars run on an Avon Tyres soft compound tyre, instead of having the option of a medium compound in 2007.
