World Championship for Makes
Points were awarded to the top 10 finishers in the order of 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1.[3] Makes were only awarded the applicable points for their highest finishing car,[3] with no points awarded for positions gained by additional cars. No points were awarded for places gained by Touring Cars[4] or by any other cars from groups which were ineligible for the championship.
Only the best seven scores for each make counted towards the championship, with any other points earned not included in the totals.[5]
