For races with standing starts, championship points were awarded on class finishing positions and for races with handicap starts on outright finishing positions. For rounds contested over two races, points were awarded on a 45-36-30-27-24-21-18-15-12-9-6-3 basis in each race and for rounds contested over three races on a 30-24-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2 basis in each race. All eligible finishers outside of the top twelve in each race were awarded one point each.
