Championships

Championship points will be awarded to the first ten positions in each race. Entries must complete 75% of the winning car's race distance in order to be classified and earn points. Individual drivers are required to participate for a minimum of 25 minutes in order to earn championship points in any race.

Drivers' Championship

Teams' Championship

Teams must have two cars at a race weekend in order to be eligible for scoring points in the Teams' Championship. If a team with just one car finishes in a points position, the cars of the teams that finished below get the extra points. As well as this, Esta Motorsports did not accrue points for their one-off appearance at the Moscow event, nor did Team Novadriver for their expanded two-car entry at the Nürburgring.
