TPTCC League Winter 2010
~ Driver Points System ~
~ REWARDS Weight and Team Compensation ~
Here is a description of the points system used to score races and
determine the season champions in Groups A and B.
The league incorporates the REWARDS
Weight and Team Compensation system similar to that used in the Speed World Challenge-GT
Series. Weight will be added or subtracted based on finishing position.
The driver's point totals and assigned weight adjustment for the next
event are posted on the Group A and Group B Standings pages.
Driver Championship Points System
Drivers are awarded points for finishing position in Touring races (50-60
min) according to the following schedule:
1 - 60
2 - 56
3 - 52
4 - 48
5 - 44
6 - 42
7 - 40
8 - 38
...
Additionally, 2 pts are awarded for pole position and 2 pts for Hard
Charger (advancing the most positions).
For Sprint events where two shorter races are run, points awarded are
one-half of the above for each race.
REWARDS Weight and Team Compensation
The Team Compensation System allows drivers finishing outside the top 50%
of finishing positions to remove 50 lbs. each time until a maximum of -100
lbs. off base weight is reached, or the driver finishes within the top
50% of finishing positions.
When a driver finishes within the top 50%, 50 lbs. will be added back on
each time until the driver reaches the base weight.
For Sprint events where two shorter races are run, a maximum of 50 lbs.
will be removed or added for the event.
A driver is not eligible to remove weight, or required to add it back on, unless the driver is classified as a finisher.
Any driver that has been required to carry REWARDS weight during the
season is not eligible to take advantage of the Team Compensation System.
