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.

How the Points Work

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.

Qualifying — where you qualify
  • P1 — Pole100
  • P295
  • P391
  • P488
  • P586
  • P6 & back85, then −1 each
Feature Race — where you finish
  • P1 — Win200
  • P2190
  • P3181
  • P4173
  • P5166
  • P6 & back160, 155, 151…

Perfect night = 300 (pole + feature win). Championship = best 4 of 6 rounds.
