Standings

Points are awarded to the driver's entry. While the drivers from all classes would compete at the same time, they would only score points on their respective classes. If an entrant entered two drivers, then both drivers would earn points for their entry. Drivers must complete at least 75% of the race in order to be classified for points. Double points are awarded for the final round at Goiânia.

Drivers are allowed to discard points from one Special Edition race and one Brazilian championship race towards their final tally in the overall standings.[27]
