Scoring system

Points are awarded to the top twenty-five classified drivers, and the top drivers who are able to achieve the Pole Position or the Fastest Lap during the qualify session are awarded with corresponding +3 and +2 bonus points.

The Season Championship will recognize only each driver's best 18 of 21 race results including all bonus points earned. [11]

The weekend format and with it the points system were overhauled for the 2026 season. Each weekend will now comprise three races, the first two of which are designated as Heat Races and award points per class according to the following scale.
