Each round scores qualifying points (from your best qualifying lap) plus final points (from your feature-race finish). Standings rank by cumulative championship points across all rounds — best 4 of 6 count toward the class title. Updated after each round.
Every race night you earn qualifying points plus feature-race points — they add together for your round total. Positions are scored within your group, then merged into one class.
Perfect night = 300 (pole + feature win). Championship = best 4 of 6 rounds.
