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.

Teams' Cup
Notes
- Theo Palmer set the fastest lap but was not classified, so he was ineligible to score the point for it. No bonus point was awarded.
- Dries Van Langendonck originally won the race, but later received a five-second time penalty for causing a collision. Joseph Smith, initially classified second, inherited the win.
