Drivers

Points were distributed per race as follows: 20 points awarded to the winner, 15 for the runner-up, 12 for third place, followed by 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point for positions four through ten respectively. Competitors finishing beyond tenth position did not earn points. Additionally, 2 points were granted for achieving the fastest lap in each event. Only a driver's top 14 results contributed to their overall championship tally; however, all bonus points from fastest laps were included. One competitor's total reflects a points deduction indicated in parentheses.

Points Allocation:*

Position	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	Fastest Lap
