Standings

Scoring system

Points are awarded to the top ten classified finishers in the 30 minutes and 1 lap long Race 1 and 3, and to the top eight classified finishers in the reverse grid 20 minutes and 1 lap long Race 2. The pole-sitter in the each Race 1 and 3 also receives two points respectively, and one point is given to the driver who sets the fastest lap in the race if that driver finished inside the top ten. No point are awarded if the fastest lap time is achieved by a driver who was classified outside the top ten. No extra points are awarded to the pole-sitter in Race 2 as the grid for it is set by reversing the top eight qualifiers.
