How are Series points Calculated?

Article Number: 38 | Rating: 3.9/5 from 7 votes | Last Updated: Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 2:31 AM

Series Points & Race Week Points

Race Points:
RACE EVENT points are scored in Official Series Races.
Races are valued by the Strength of Field (SOF), which is based on the iRatings of the drivers in the field. The higher the average strength of field, the more points are available for each finishing position.
Race event points are adjusted for field size. The larger the field the smaller the difference in points awarded for each finishing position.

RACE WEEK POINTS:
Drivers may compete in as many Official Series Races as they choose in a given race week.

The best 50% of a driver’s race performances (based on points scored) in a given Race Week will be averaged at the conclusion of each Official Series Race during the week. The final average at the conclusion of the Race Week will be the driver’s Race Week Point Total and count towards the season championships in that series.

Example: If a driver competes in five official races in the Skip Barber Series in a given week, the driver’s best three race-point totals are averaged and those points go towards the driver’s season championship points total.

SEASON RACE POINTS:
Season points are calculated by totaling the race week points earned by a driver in a given series in a single season. A driver’s best 8 weeks of the 12 Race weeks will count towards his/her season championship points.

Thanks Lewis, made the change.

Afraid you forgot about the top 50% of your scores are counted for that week. In your above example, you would have received 100 points for the week because the 50 point race would be dropped.
