Classes & points system

Each competing car was classified into one of three classes.
Series points were awarded on the following basis within each class at each race.

Position	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	11th	12th	13th	14th	15th	16th	17th	18th	19th	20th	21st	22nd	23rd	24th	25th	26th	27th	28th	29th	30th

Bonus points were awarded to each race finisher equal to the number of cars that started a race within that class. E.g. If 14 cars started a race in Class B, then each car that finished within Class B was awarded an additional 14 bonus points for that race.
The driver gaining the highest points total from his/her best seven round results was declared the winner of that class.
Any points scored by a driver within a class were not transferred if that driver changed classes.
