Championship standings

Points are awarded to the top ten classified finishers in races 1 and 3 and for the top eight classified finishers in race 2. Race two, which has its grid formed by reversing the top twelve from the qualifying order, awards extra points, up until a maximum of ten, for positions gained from the drivers' respective starting positions. Two points are awarded for the best legal lap set in the qualifying session. Bonus points count towards only the drivers' standings. A brand new classification called the Challenge Cup for drivers competing in pre-selected seven rounds or less is held for the first time.
