- Points will be awarded on the results of each race for Group S over the weekend. No points will be awarded for any handicap race
- Points will be awarded on the basis of 10,6,4,3,2,1,1,1,1, etc. using the driver’s outright finishing order. No points will be awarded for a DNF.
- If separate races are programmed for eligible Triumphs (e.g. Group Sa and Sb have different races) total race times will be used to determine Ecurie Triumph round placings. In the event that races are of different lengths, a pro rata adjustment of competitors race times will be used. A similar adjustment may be required in the event of lapped competitors.
- In the event that calculations in point 6 result in identical race times, the driver with the faster lap recorded in the feature race will take precedence.
- For the TSOA Super Sprint , the fastest official lap time only will determine the points awarded. If two driver record the same time the one recording the time first takes precident.
