Winter Championship 2009/10

The on-road winter championship will consist of 42 rounds, consisting of 25 double-header meetings. Each driver's best 20 scores will count towards their championship scores.

There will be 2 rounds of qualifying, single fastest race (FTD) to determine qualifying order. If there are only enough drivers for three heats (about 24 drivers) then there will be 3 rounds of qualifying.

Top qualifier will score 100pts, second will score 99 and so on. The A final winner will score 101, second 99, third 98 and so on down.

The grid for the finals will be set by qualifying order. The grid of the second final will also be set by qualifying order.

Each meeting's two scores will be Q+F1 and Q+F2, where Q is their qualifying score, F1 is their score in the first final, and F2 is their score in the second final.

Non-members will not score points, and will not take points away from members.

Every driver completing 21 scores in on-road will receive a trophy.
