Points systems
Points were awarded to the top 10 (Overall), top 8 (Pro-Am) or top 6 (Am, Teams) classified finishers. If less than 6 participants started the race or if less than 75% of the original race distance was completed, half points were awarded. For the Endurance Race (Spa, Monza) points were multiplied by 2. At the end of the season, the 2 lowest race scores were dropped; if the points dropped were those obtained in endurance races, that counted as 2 races; however, the dropped races could not be the result of disqualification or race bans.
