Rating

There were four races on each race weekend. In each case at the 2nd daily race (i.e. races 2 and 4 per race weekend) the starting grid of the previous race was partially reversed by the reversal rule; this concerns the top 8 at the finish line. The winner of the first or third race of a weekend started from position 8 in the following race, but the 8th of the 1st or 3rd race started from pole position . The places in between have been reversed accordingly. In the evaluation, a distinction was made between the races with and without reversal rule (places 1 - 10):

• Races 1 and 3 (without reversal rule): 20, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 point (s)
• Races 2 and 4 (with reversal rule): 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 point (s)
