CLASSES
5. For the purpose of this championship there will be no separate classes. In each of the qualifying rounds selected entrants must enter the appropriate class.
SCORING
6. In Groups A, B, C, D, E, G, H and J (as defined in 8 below) points will be awarded according to the position in CLASS as shown on the official event results and in Group F (as defined in 8 below) points will be awarded according to the position in CLASS in accordance with the BTRDA® Rallycross Championship scoring system after calculation by the Rallycross Marking Official from the official event results. The following formula - calculated to 2 decimal places - will be applied:
[20 ÷ (number of starters in class + 1)] x [(number of starters in class minus class position) + 1]
EXAMPLES 3rd out of a class of 9 = [20 ÷ (9 + 1)] x [(9 - 3) + 1] = 2 x 7 = 14.00 1st out of a class of 6 = [20 ÷ (6 + 1)] x [(6 - 1) + 1] = 2.86 x 6 = 17.16
7. POINTS NEED NOT BE CLAIMED for events included in Groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H as defined in 8 below as these will be awarded automatically by the Championship Secretary once published results are received from the Clubs.
