Championship standings

Pre-event qualifying was eliminated starting in 2024, so that all results across the weekend are determined by tandem drifting and not by solo runs.

The 24 highest classified drivers in the previous event are guaranteed a starting position at the next event and are seeded with the same results, so that the previous event winner is awarded the number 1 seed (equivalent to the top qualifier in previous seasons).

The remaining 8 seeding positions (25th through 32nd) are contested by up to 24 other drivers, including those who finished 25th or below in the previous round. Seeding within this group is determined by a Seeding Bracket, a knockout-style tandem drift competition of similar format to the main event, with the first-place finisher being awarded the 25th starting position in the main event. [45] [46] All drivers score championship points; those eliminated during the Seeding Bracket are classified 33rd through 48th and receive 14 points.

In the main event, drivers proceed through a series of competition heats, with those eliminated in the first round (Top 32) receiving 28 points and classifying 17th through 32nd, the second round (Top 16) receiving 42 points and classifying 9th through 16th, the third round (Great 8) receiving 56 points and classifying 5th through 8th, and the fourth round (Final Four) classifying 3rd and 4th, both receiving 70 points. In the Final, the runner-up receives 84 points and the winner 100 points. Final classification within each round is then determined by highest seeding position; for example, of the two drivers eliminated in the Final Four, the driver who was seeded higher entering the event is awarded 3rd position and the final place on the podium.

In the event of a tie on points, the driver who classified higher in the most recent round will be awarded the higher position. [47]

For Round 1 at Long Beach, the final classification of the 2023 championship was used, with non-returning drivers Chelsea DeNofa (1st) and Kristaps Blušs (24th) skipped and the ranking reapplied so that Taylor Hull (25th) and Alec Robbins (26th) were seeded 23rd and 24th respectively, and guaranteed starting positions.

Auto Cup standings

Auto Cup points are awarded each round to the two drivers with the highest classified finish for each manufacturer. To be eligible, both the chassis and engine must have been constructed by that manufacturer.
