Points were awarded to the top 10 finishers in the order of 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1, with the following 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.
