Points system

Category	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th
Group C1	20	15	12	10	8	6	4	3	2	1
Group C2	22	17	14	12	10	8	6	5	4	3

In order to be classified for points, a team had to complete 90% of the winner's distance. Further, drivers were required to complete at least 30% of their car's total race distance to qualify for championship points. Drivers forfeited points if they drove in more than one car during the race. Group C2 entries earned two extra points for any finish within the overall top ten finishing positions.
