[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.
