Championship standings

;Scoring system Championship points were awarded based on finishing positions as shown in the chart below. The pole-sitter in Race 1 and Race 2 and the driver with the fastest lap in Race 1 and Race 2 also received one point. The grid for Race 1 was decided by a normal qualifying, but the grid for Race 2 was decided by everyone's second best time in qualifying. If a guest driver got Pole Position, the point would go to the best qualified regular driver. If a guest driver had the fastest lap, the point would go to the regular driver with the fastest lap. Entries were required to complete 75% of the winning car's (per division) race distance in order to be classified and earn points. All results counted towards the year-end standings. There were no scratch results. If there were in a division on average less than five participants the overall points standing would be reduced with 75%.
