Results and performance summaries

Scoring system

Points are awarded to the top twenty-five classified drivers, and the top drivers who are able to achieve the Pole Position or the Fastest Lap during the qualify session are awarded with corresponding +3 and +2 bonus points.

The Season Championship will recognize only each driver's best 18 of 21 race results including all bonus points earned.[11]

The weekend format and with it the points system were overhauled for the 2026 season. Each weekend will now comprise three races, the first two of which are designated as Heat Races and award points per class according to the following scale.

Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th   11th   12th   13th   14th   15th   16th   17th   18th+   DNF 
Points 25 23 21 19 17 15 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1
Race 3

The third race of the weekend, called the Feature Race, awards more points:

Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th   11th   12th   13th   14th   15th   16th   17th   18th   19th   20th   21st   22nd   23rd   24th   25th+   DNF
