Points were awarded for the top 10 finishers, in the order of 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1, with some exceptions:
- Drivers failing to drive the car within a certain percentage of the laps in a race were not given points.
- Teams were only given points for their highest finishing car; any other team cars were merely skipped in the points standings. Points were still awarded to their drivers however.
- Neither driver nor teams scored points if they did not complete 90% of the winner's distance.
