Important Scoring Rules

  • Non-Finishers: A competitor who does not finish the race (DNF) receives 5 points less than the lowest-placed finisher
  • Definition of a Finisher: To be classified as a finisher, a driver must complete at least 67% of the race distance (rounded down to the nearest whole number of laps)
  • Dropped Heats (National): In the National Championship (which consists of 6 heats per weekend), a competitor is allowed to drop their single worst heat result from that combined weekend. However, a heat cannot be dropped if the driver was excluded/disqualified from it or did not start
  • Tie-Breakers: If points are tied at the end of the season/event, the winner is decided by the greatest number of 1st places. If still tied, it moves to 2nd places, then 3rd places, and so on. If a tie remains, the highest score in the last race takes preference
