TPTCC - Summer 2008 Points System

Here is a description of the points system used to score races and determine the season champions in Groups A and B.

The league has also decided for this season to incorporate the REWARDS Weight and Team Compensation system as used in the Speed World Challenge-GT Series. Weight will be added or subtracted based on finishing position. (For two race Sprint events, weight will be based on position in the 2nd race).

The driver's point totals and assigned weight adjustment for the next event are posted on the Group A and Group B Standings pages.

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.

The REWARDS weight system assigns added or removed weight based on finishing position according to the following schedule. (The weight cannot exceed 200 lbs. or go below the vehicle base weight).
1st +50 lbs.
2nd +30
3rd +10
4th 0
5th -10
6th -30
7th+ -50

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.

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.
