Championship points were awarded on a 9–6–4–3–2–1 basis to the top six placegetters in each round. Only the best six round results for each driver were counted. Where rounds were run over two heats, results were determined by awarding round points on a 20–16–13–11–10–9–8–7–6–5–4–3–2–1 basis to the top fourteen placegetters in each heat. Where round points were tied, the relevant round placing was awarded to the driver attaining the higher position in the second heat.[1]
