: Shared drive

Final points standings

Note: Drivers had to be running at the finish to score points. Points scored by drivers sharing a ride were split according to percentage of race driven. Starters were not allowed to score points as relief drivers; if a race starter finished the race in another car, in a points scoring position, those points were awarded to the driver who had started the car.

The final standings based on reference.
