List of motorsports points scoring systems

This is a list of points scoring systems used to determine the outcome of the seasonal motorsports championships. Points are usually awarded depending on placement in the individual races. In addition, there may be bonus points for fastest training laps, fastest race laps, leading laps or other individual criteria. In some racing series, for example the ARCA Menards Series, full time entries^{[ clarification needed ]} get additional points after a predetermined number of races. Drivers who do not take part in the series full-time but only take part in certain races do not receive these special points. The following overview shows the different championship scoring systems.

Limited race scoring systems (up to 20 points positions)

Table of point scoring systems for races which distribute points up to 20th place.

Shortened races

Main article: List of Formula One World Championship points scoring systems

The FIA has introduced special points systems for shortened races for the 2022 Formula One season. Until then, abandoned or shortened races from 1 lap to halfway through the race received half regular points. Most racing series do not have any special scoring systems for this. For example in IndyCar, a race must be driven at least half the planned distance to be included in the championship rankings; there are no special points for shorter races. In NASCAR, the end of Stage 2 or half of the race is the basis for scoring.

Seasons (Series)	Prozentual race distance	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th
2022–2024 (F1)	50–74%	19	14	12	9	8	6	5	3	2	1

Championship decision

The final result of the championship is usually determined by the sum of the championship points won. If the points are the same, in most series like Formula One, IndyCar, etc, there is a tiebreaker in the form of the number of the highest positions in the individual races, e.g. number of victories, number of second places etc.

Main article: AIACR European Championship

An inverted system was used in Europe before World War II. The driver with the fewest points won the championship there. The winner got 1 "penalty point", the second-placed driver 2, the third-placed driver 3, all other drivers got 4. Drivers who did not finish the race received additional "penalty points", based on the percentage distance they run.

Main article: NASCAR playoffs

In some racing series, especially in NASCAR, there is a playoff system. After a cutoff race determined at the beginning of the season, the points score is used to qualify for the playoff after that race. In the subsequent races, other selection procedures are used to decide the championship, for example a knockout phase in which only a certain number of drivers, determined by points scoring and number of victories, reach the next round. In the last race, only the direct placement against the other competing drivers decides the outcome of the championship.
